Why does Florida does not pay state tax?

All levels of government have their own type of funding to pay their expenses. The federal government uses mostly income and excise taxes. City and county governments mostly use property taxes. Some cities use a sales taxes in addition to property taxes. States vary. Some states, like Oregon, use primarily income taxes and don't have a sales tax. Other states, like Florida, use mainly sales taxes and don't have an income tax. Most states, use a combination and have both income and sales taxes. Some states only tax businesses and not individuals, like Alaska who gets tax income from corporations and businesses only and doesn't have a sales tax. Many states also have other types of taxes in addition to their main source of taxes (use, luxury, lodging, etc). This is how these various levels of government get their income to operate and run programs, provide services, and pay employees.


Are federal corporate income taxes deductible for state income taxes?

In general, states do not allow a deduction for federal income taxes as most states "piggyback" off of federal taxable income as the beginning of the state income tax calculation. However, the states of Alabama , Iowa , Louisiana , and Missouri have variations of state taxable income that allows for some potential deduction for federal income taxes. Each of these four states has its own unique methodology for the deduction and each place certain restrictions on the ability to take the deduction.

Does Tennessee have state income tax?

Tennessee is a little different from most states in regards to income tax. You won't pay taxes on your wages, but if you have taxable interest and/or dividend income that exceeds $1,250 (or $2,500 if you're married filing jointly) then you'll pay income tax on that.

In most states the largest single source of revenue comes from?

Due to the very different nature of U.S. states, there is no good answer to this question. The top three sources of income for US States are: sales tax, personal/corporate income tax, and passdown from the Federal government. Given that not all states have both income and sales taxes (some have only one or the other), and that the amount of Federal passdown can vary widely (both between different states, and from year to year), there is no good generalization to be made about the single biggest source of income for a majority of the states. Note, if you want to be strict about the word "revenue" (as in, a source of income that the state directly collects), that would exclude Federal passdown. 41 states impose an income tax (plus 2 which tax only investment/interest income), while 45 impose a sales tax. Two states (Alaska and New Hampshire) have no general sales or income taxes. The latter two states tend to rely on property/business income tax (in NH) and oil production taxes (AK) for the majority of their revenue.
