Good question...

Players pay each state income taxes that they play in during the season.

“NFL players typically file in 10 to 12 jurisdictions. NBA is somewhere between 16 and 20. MLB is somewhere between 20 and 26, and the NHL is between 14 and 16,” says Losi.

Thanks. Very interesting.

So Wisconsin will not be getting the full income tax off these guy’s entire salaries, but instead only a portion. So supporters who imply they are getting the whole thing for the State are being less than honest.

I wonder about the team owners, coaches, etc too. They rake in huge salaries. They don’t necessarily live in the State where their team is headquartered. So who do they pay State income tax to. If I were them I’d move to a State w/o State income tax.
