Florida State Taxes for Real Estate Investors

[Debra Mittleman]

I am fairly new to the state of Florida and in 2015 purchased my first investment property, a duplex.  The state of Florida doesn't have state income taxes and usually it is not necessary to file a return.  However, I recently read that the exception to this is for real estate investors who own property in the state.  Can anyone tell me more about this and what forms I need to file with the state?
