I formed an LLC in Florida because I heard it has no personal income tax. I'm from Brazil and I sell digital products online. My LLC is a single-member entity and I'm the sole owner.

A friend told me Florida has a corporate income tax. But my LLC isn't a corporation — it's taxed as a disregarded entity for federal purposes. Do I still need to file anything with Florida? The LLC made about $120,000 last year.
