How does Amazon FBA sales tax work in Florida in 2026?

For 2026, Amazon collects and remits Florida sales tax on your FBA and MFN orders as a marketplace facilitator. You are still responsible for any direct-to-consumer or Shopify sales into Florida once those off-Amazon sales cross $100,000, and you may need Florida registration if FBA inventory is stored in-state.

Does Amazon FBA inventory in Florida create physical nexus?

Yes — Amazon storing your FBA inventory in a Florida fulfillment center generally creates physical nexus regardless of sales volume. Pull your Amazon Inventory Event Detail report and look for FL fulfillment-center activity; if present, Florida typically expects registration even when Amazon already collects sales tax on the facilitated orders.

Does Amazon collect Florida sales tax on my FBA orders?

Yes — Amazon is a marketplace facilitator in Florida and collects and remits Florida sales tax on your FBA and MFN sales automatically.

Do I still need to register in Florida as an FBA seller?

If Amazon stores your FBA inventory in Florida, you may have physical nexus and need to register for informational filing. Check your Amazon inventory reports for FL distribution.

What about direct-to-consumer sales outside Amazon?

Those are your responsibility. If your Shopify store or website sells into Florida above $100,000, you register independently.

Florida Amazon FBA Sales Tax Guide — 2026

Updated 2026-05-22

If your Amazon business sells $100,000 into Florida in a calendar year, you have economic nexus and must register, collect, and remit Florida sales tax.

Amazon FBA and sales tax in Florida

Amazon is a marketplace facilitator in Florida, which means Amazon calculates, collects, and remits sales tax on your FBA and MFN sales to Florida buyers. You don't collect tax on those transactions yourself.

However, if Amazon stores your FBA inventory in a Florida warehouse, you may have physical nexus — independent of the economic threshold. Some states will ask you to register anyway for information reporting.

When you still need to file in Florida

You sell direct-to-consumer from your own store outside Amazon (Shopify, your website) into Florida.
You have inventory stored in a Florida FBA center (check your Amazon Seller Central inventory reports by state).
You sell wholesale, dropship, or run retail trade shows in Florida.
State requires an information return even for marketplace-only sales (rules vary).

Common Amazon-seller mistakes in Florida

Assuming marketplace facilitator status covers everything — if Amazon stored your inventory in Florida, some states still want a registration on file.
Double-collecting when you sell the same SKU via Amazon AND your own Shopify store. Amazon collects; Shopify collects. Both remit. The buyer pays tax twice. Audit your setup.
Reporting marketplace-facilitated sales on your Florida sales tax return as taxable when they should be reported as marketplace-facilitated (non-taxable for you). State form boxes vary.

Florida nexus note

Florida sales tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: effective July 1, 2021, an out-of-state retailer with no Florida physical presence must register, collect, report, and remit Florida sales tax and discretionary sales surtax once it has taxable remote Florida sales exceeding $100,000 over the previous calendar year. Florida uses a sales-only threshold -- no transaction-count test. Registered marketplace providers collect and remit Florida tax on taxable retail sales they facilitate; marketplace sellers with Florida physical presence or more than $100,000 in taxable remote Florida sales outside the marketplace must register and collect on those outside-marketplace sales.
