Does the Florida F1120 need to be filed for this situation: Always a S corp, no income made in Florida, no entries for line 22, a to c, all ordinary income(loss), line 21, passed to shareholders.

Yes, you need to file an F1120S to show the losses on the return. All corporations are required to file a return.

Florida used to require an initial and final S corp return regardless of whether there was any entity level tax due.

 

@WillK is incorrect.  

 

That is no longer the case.  The only time a Florida S corporation is required to file a return is if there is federal tax due at the S corporation level.  This was changed in 2002.
