It is considered earned income. Due to the tax bracket on some of these amounts it will be between 33-38% tax rate. They will pay IRS

Tax rates are marginal, even at 100K the top rate is only 24% and the effective, or average rate is closer to 18%.. but that's still a nice chunk to cough up...with no withholdings.. Gonna be fun to watch...Uncle Sugar is gonna get his... Welcome to the real world.

Self employment taxes... Didn't think of that either. that's another 15%. This is going to be fun to watch. Soon, they will wish it was all under the table again. Be careful what you wish for.

The same way pro athletes do taxes on endorsements. I am guessing they are individual contractors and have to do a 1099 but some may have a LLC or something like that.

Lawyers are setting up corps for the money to go to. So, the smart ones will expense as much as they can against the revenue and then pay corp and personal taxes on the net.
These kids are about to learn more about tax policy in one year than most people learn in a lifetime.

Yes, but it is also subject to the additional 15.3% self-employment tax

So, it’s more like 18% (income tax) + 15.3% (SE Tax) = 33.3% (total federal taxes)

And then, if you live in a state with a state income tax - you can tack on another 5%.

That would be an aggregate tax hit of roughly 38.3%

Also, will some be required to make fed and potentially state quarterly payments? If so, missing them can lead to penalties that further erode the original amount paid.

I would think a 1099...if not, expect some issues at some point in the future.

yeah i think the REAL problem for players will be non cash items (cars, clothes, etc) that ended up getting taxed.

That is what you got from my post. Critical thinking is something you need to understand before you post again.

I’m sure these boosters will have access to great accountants. I’m assuming there are many things that can be written off?

Dumbasses, same as those who thought you could transfer $500,000 to a non charitable entity with no tax consequences.
