re: Josh Pate Bringing Some Knowledge Regarding NIL and College Football

You know, I have been with the military since 1981. For 21 straight years I was a TN resident. I never paid taxes in IL, SC, NC, TX, FL, or any overseas benefits.

UNTIL...

I retired in SC. Then the shite hit the fan. I paid over $2,000 to register my cars and RV in that GOD Blessed state because I became an employee on the base.

If an athlete becomes an employee of a university or state, they become a LEGAL resident of that state. JOK tax will not count. Sure, after the season they can move back to their home state, but they're continued pay will be from the representer.

I don't see how they could divide their income as multiple resident states after the season simply because they move back home. They're still working for the university or they're not getting paid while out of state.

Bottom line: You pay the state tax on your residential income no matter what state you're in, that is unless it is a tax free state like FL, TX, & TN.
