NIL Athlete Tax Planning
Florida has no state income tax — but your NIL earnings are still taxable. We help college and professional athletes structure their income, minimize their tax burden, and stay compliant across every state they compete in.
Your NIL Income Is Self-Employment Income
Most college athletes don't realize that NIL income — from endorsements, sponsorships, social media deals, and appearances — is classified as self-employment income by the IRS. That means:
1099-NEC Reporting
Every brand deal, sponsorship, and appearance fee over $600 generates a 1099-NEC. You're responsible for reporting all of it.
Self-Employment Tax
On top of regular income tax, you owe an additional 15.3% in self-employment tax (Social Security + Medicare) on your NIL earnings.
Quarterly Estimated Taxes
Unlike W-2 employees, no taxes are withheld from your NIL payments. You must make quarterly estimated tax payments or face penalties.
Multi-State Jock Tax
If you compete in games or events outside Florida, you may owe income tax in every state where you earn income — even if you live in a no-income-tax state.
