Tax has a crucial role in wealth generation and preservation. Professional athletes have very complex tax situations which make tax planning a year-round endeavor, not just a one-time stop during tax filing season. The importance of integrating tax strategies with investment planning can't be stressed enough as we have seen the countless pitfalls of receiving separate tax and investment advice. 

Proactive strategies must be taken on, and changing the game plan to account for updates in the tax code is essential to maximize and optimize wealth.
