What is a Florida certificate of status?

A Certificate of Status is issued by the Florida Department of State to show that your company is active and has paid the initial filing fees or annual report after the first year. Some banks and governmental agencies require this certificate as verification that the company is an active Florida company.

still not really sure what you did. however, if you filed as self-employed you are not a corporation unless you incorporated and filed as self-employed which would be a big mess. first, you would need to prepare a corp return if it is taxed as a C-Corp there's nothing to report on you 1040 except salary from it. however, treating payments from it to you as SE income can cause substantial tax problems. If it's taxed as an S-Corp there would be a K-1 which would need to be included on your return. The same is as to salary would also exist. One other possibility is you elected to be a single-member LLC which also would require registration with Florida. however, if yo a service that did the filings for you. contact them
