I.E. the effects of a one-party state.

Don't NFL players get paid in the state the game is played in?

Earnings/taxes differ based on the schedule?

(Essentially I bury my money in coffee cans in the yard, so forgive my ignorance here.)

I've heard something like that. Apparently a local radio talk show host is friends with a MLB umpire and said that they have to pay taxes for any state they worked in.

If you play on Americas Team, you get better perks.

Correct. So there would be some variation from year to year, but that only applies to the game check portion, and as a Ram, the #1 pick would play 9+ games in California, which has the highest state income tax, each year.

Yes they pay taxes in each state they play. It get a bit complicated, and I won't even attempt to explain it. Read up if you like.
NFL Players versus the IRS: It's a Tough Tackle

This is why the salary cap should be based on net pay, not gross pay.

What's your address and when is your next vacation?

Yes.

and no state tax.

I love Texas

 

[SoCalWizFan]

Hmm.. How many 21-22 yr olds would sacrifice a few 100k (out of millions) to live in LA rather than Philly? My guess is the overwhelming majority.

 

[eaglesnut]

Philly is dope. LA is full of clowns.

 

[Superbelt]

Eh, they get you different ways. Texas has the highest property taxes, and California is less than half of Texas.

For a top 5 pick, that ends up being significant when you buy your castle.

Top pick will end up with better endorsement's, too, to pad his wallet.

Anyone with a brain. However, I'd take Texas and their more sane mindset and tax laws over California 7 days a week.

Difference is that you HAVE to get paid by the team, you can CHOOSE to buy a house anywhere you like.

And your name on a jersey with a blue star will get plenty of extra money.

True, but you know any top 5 pick is going to buy a massive house near their team, so the dynamic ends up playing out.

Probably, but it goes back to what options you have. Smart money would rent a nice place near the team and then buy your bigger house wherever you actually want to live when your short career is over.

 

[Superbelt]

True.

Still, the 20 year old who suddenly becomes a multi-millionaire and has that kind of fiscal discipline is as rare as Dallas playoff wins this century.
