California’s “jock taxes” force pro athletes who don’t live in the state to fork over percentages of their yearly income based on the number of days they work in California.
Sam Darnold received $178k for winning the Super Bowl.
He owes California $249k for just the Super Bowl (they factor is his per game salary based on his annual contract)
He also owes a whole bunch more because he played 49ers and Rams in CA as well
That’s pretty standard for states and cities and certainly not exclusive to California. If you work in a state, you pay taxes there. Columbus taxes any pro athlete, entertainer, and/or public speakers for even a single day worked in the city.
