Takeaways

Student athletes should be aware that any income over $600 is taxable and should request a 1099 form from businesses they work with. Creating a business entity, such as an S-Corp, can provide tax benefits for student athletes. It is important to report all income and expenses accurately to avoid tax fraud. Financial education is crucial for student athletes, as the education system often fails to teach important life skills, including taxes. Foreign student athletes may have different tax considerations and should seek guidance from tax professionals. Transferring schools can have tax implications, as student athletes may need to pay taxes in multiple states.
