I dont know these players tax rates.  None of us do.  I live in Florida and the state gets their money back in other ways, all things arent equal minus the state income tax.  

I'm friends with a stupid rich musician that can live anywhere in the country given hes a Brit.  He lived for years in NYC and then moved to Conn.  He makes more money than any of these athletes could dream of earning.  

Do you know  Ringo?

It's NOT just the money why players dont want to come here.

Its the losing and the weather. If we won a hell of a lot more they can make boatloads more money here in the tristate area through endorsements. 

endorsements are BS. Eli won 2 SBs and all he did was a car dealership endorsement. his brother made a hell of alot more and never played here.

how many other Giants from those SBs got local endorsements? and BTW all cities have that. you dont think Tyrek Hill isnt getting endorsements in Miami?

and you cant use that Line for everyone. as i stated with the Giants no one else got them. and i know Barkley got a chucky soup endorsement but he didnt win anything , means he could have got that anywhere he played

In Texas he’d  pay 10k (3000 sq foot house in a metro area with top public schools -450K) or 200k  a year in property taxes (9 million dollar mansion on top of a hill).   That’s where they get you in Texas.  

He’d pay sales tax.   Boat registration and car registration.  In NJ you’d laugh at the amounts.  Low gas taxes.   

That’s it.  

He could pay less state and city taxes than the average family if he wanted to lol

Amazingly... the condition of Florida's highways are way better than NJ ... the highest taxed state.
 

FL roads are awesome and they legit have allegators and sh*t running around. It takes nothing to see the difference in states that are run well and not.

Is this something new? No, so why isnt it already the case?

Doesnt seem to hurt other team in NY, just the Jets.  Mets, Yanks, Isles, Rangers, Devils, Knicks dont have a problem just the Jets.  There are tons of actors, musicians etc living in NYC or NJ, im not seeing it

Cant See Cheech Marin GIF

The point is that the guys playing in Florida, Texas, Vegas, etc. Keep a lot more of their pay. This plays out especially during FA. 

 

The rate of Taxation in CA and the Northeast is theft.

From what I understand, Florida for instance get the taxes back in other ways. Like property taxes. So in the end it’s pretty even. So who cares what you call the tax, bottom line is the important one.

I would think that if a player foregoes a signing bonus and gets guaranteed salary that would help with the taxes as when he plays in Miami that game is taxed less.  
 

I think.   But then he is taking Johnson credit risk and has to wait for the money.

The Miami game is taxed in his home state....  in almost all cases that would be NJ I imagine.  I did a few NFL players. The W2 is like a deck of cards. Card 1 is TOTAL wages. Each secondary card is a state.   The state cards Won't total the main card if there were games in Florida for example.  BUT, the Main card is the one that goes on your home state in a state like NJ.

LOL, older and a lot more colorful

 

You're friends with Nat King Cole ?   Opps, he's passed, and before anyone makes fun of me, he's the best Male vocalist of all time, so don't think I'm making fun of him. I met the man way back when I was a kid growing up in NJ.

What would the number be if he played for Miami ?

Only 4 game diff .. you pay where you play

when are people going to understand that players pay taxes to every state in which they play a game / Then the home state (NJ) allows a credit for out of state taxes paid.  Opposing players who don't live in NJ still pay NJ income tax for the games they play in NJ.

So when a Dolphin, who resides in Florida, plays the Jets in NJ, 1/17th of his salary is taxed in NJ.  If they play a couple of games in California, then 2/17ths of the salary is taxed by California.

Generally… not deductible.   Think in terms of paying an employment agency.   BUT…fees on endorsements, commercials etc can be deducted. 

Hmmm, what if the athlete forms an LLC for (whatever reason you can come up with) and then pays the agent as an LLC expense?

My guess, and I'm 1 stiff 7&7 in, is his CPA opted for the front loaded SB to take advantage of the blood red stock market and get in on big positions on the cheap. 

If that's the case and the stock play doesn't pan out, I'd sue the hell out of the agent.

Single filers pay 37% to the Fed on income over 500K.  He's getting paid up front which makes his deal worth more money not less.  He can invest the after tax income and it will be taxed as Cap Gains going forward.  It's a great deal.

That's why I support a 10% federal flat tax.  Jesus, it's so simple and yet no one will push it.  

State taxes are bs, so glad we don't have them in TN.

And we still have a choice of paper or plastic.

image.thumb.png.9aa2b975eacbf84a58a21ca2175cebf7.png

 

but here is the genius of the plastic bag ban. I now have close to 30 of the accepted bags in the trunk of my car because i constantly have to buy new ones because i forget to bring them in the store with me. So instead of the store buying the plastic bags for less than 1 cent apiece, i pay 99 cents per bag every trip to the store.

And the best part of all of this is the 99cent bag that is acceptable is made of you guessed it - plastic.

Can't fix stupid.

Agree with most.

That said, I think our fans over-estimate the endorsements being greater in jersey than elsewhere. It’s about even across the league AND doing endorsement work is extra work. Frankly, and NFL player shouldn’t have to work more than 1 job.

Fans always bitch about a player not being 24/7 ball, but also want them to load their calendars with endorsement work to fill their salary gaps.

Its all unrealistic fan speak.

It is on their signing bonuses. So just on this signing bonus check alone, it’s already millions.

If Sauce just got a $25MM signing bonus (or however much it was), it seems he’d owe NJ ~9% on his income between $500K and $5MM ($400K) plus 10.75% on the last $20MM ($2.15MM) = just over $2.5MM total. If he was taken 3rd instead of 4th - and if he’d gotten the same contract - he’d get to keep that $2.5MM instead. 

Then on top of that there’s no more fully deducting his SALT so he also has to pay federal income taxes on that $2.5MM he paid to the state. 

@southparkcpa I’m guessing here, but do I have this right? Work through your wine buzz; this is important stuff here.

So he kinda gets burned because of the rookie contract slotting. For a number of years now, the Jets have been foregoing big signing bonuses in exchange for guaranteed salary, which would then be eligible to be taxed in Florida, etc. I never really thought about those contracts being player friendly in that way, but I guess they are.

Tell me where the most immigrants are without telling me...

 

The literacy rate has nothing to do with school funding, tax rates, or how much teachers get paid, it's all about demographics.  

 

Here are the states with the highest literacy rates:

New Hampshire (94.20%)

Minnesota (94.00%)

North Dakota (93.70%)

Vermont (93.40%)

South Dakota (93.00%)

Nebraska (92.70%)

Wisconsin (92.70%)

Maine (92.60%)
