             If you file your taxes through TurboTax or a similar online service, you’ve likely seen a certain question during your annual return: “
             <strong>
              Did you perform work in more than one state?
             </strong>
             ”

             Given that this is the 21st century, there’s a decent chance you did. You might have responded to several emails from your boss during a long weekend in Denver or spent a day on Zoom before skiing in the Poconos.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             But a state’s department of revenue is unlikely to notice that you visited, or that you completed any work.

             When football players for the Jacksonville Jaguars, who owe no income tax in their home state of Florida, traveled to Kansas City last week for a playoff game with the Chiefs, they accumulated an income tax bill for both Kansas City and the state of Missouri. The Dallas Cowboys players who visited Santa Clara to play the 49ers drew a bill from California.

             For years, the jock tax has flown under the radar, known mostly to hardcore sports fans and accountants. Nobody, after all, really cares if millionaires have to file complicated tax returns.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">

            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             Hardly anyone truly benefits from the tax, and one day in the future, even if you’re not an athlete, you may have to pay it.

              Michael Jordan’s Revenge
             </strong>
            </h4>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             In 1991, hardly anyone had heard of a jock tax, including
             <strong>
              John Cullerton
             </strong>
             , a freshman state senator in Illinois.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             That June, Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals five games, three of which were played at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood. Based on media reports at the time, California charged Jordan
             <strong>
              ~$10k
             </strong>
             in taxes for his three nights of work.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             The concept wasn’t new: California had been levying taxes on visiting athletes since at least the mid-1980s and netted
             <strong>
              ~$2.5m
             </strong>
             in 1990 alone. Wisconsin and Ohio had jock taxes, too.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             Cullerton doesn’t remember exactly how he heard about the jock tax — perhaps he read a news story about the Bulls’ California taxes — but he was inspired to make a “defensive move.”
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             “If they’re taxing Michael Jordan,” Cullerton told
             <em>
              The Hustle
             </em>
             , “but we’re not taxing Magic Johnson, it’s not fair.”
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             That summer, Illinois passed a bill that taxed visiting athletes, only if those athletes hailed from a state that also had a jock tax. The law, which garnered publicity, was dubbed “Michael Jordan’s Revenge.”
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             An onslaught of jock taxes followed over the next few years.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             Today, every state with a pro sports franchise that charges a state income tax has a jock tax. The taxes proliferated for several reasons:

            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             Despite the need for copious paperwork, the calculation for the jock tax is fairly simple.

            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             Most jurisdictions use a formula known as
             <strong>
              duty days
             </strong>
             , which includes days spent practicing and playing games during the season, as well as certain offseason activities. The duty day count ranges from 150+ for the NFL to 180+ for Major League Baseball.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             States calculate the amount a visiting athlete earns by multiplying an athlete’s annual salary by the number of duty days an athlete practices or plays in their jurisdiction divided by the total number of duty days. That number is then multiplied by a state’s personal income tax rate:

             To ensure athletes are not double taxed, they provide credits for the jock taxes their resident athletes pay in other states, up to the amount their resident athletes would have been taxed had that “duty day” been at home.
            </p>

              Because sports franchises typically play an equal number of home and away games, most states collect roughly as much money as they would have collected if jock taxes didn’t exist.
             </li>

              One critic explained this phenomenon as “stealing from one pocket to pay into another pocket.”

            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             Imagine, for instance, a two-game basketball series between the Phoenix Suns and Detroit Pistons. One day is spent in Arizona (which has a 4.5% income tax rate for high earners), and one day is spent in Michigan (a 4.25% rate). Let’s say the taxable income comes out to $1m for each team for each game.
            </p>
            <ul style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0;">

              For the day in Detroit, Michigan would collect 4.25% of each team’s $1m, which is $85k. Arizona would also collect 0.25% of the Suns’ $1m because it would only credit 4.25% of the income earned in Michigan. That comes to $2.5k.
             </li>
             <li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
              For the day in Phoenix, Arizona would collect 4.5% of each team’s $1m: $90k. Michigan would collect nothing because the Pistons players would be taxed beyond what they would have owed their home state.
             </li>
             <li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
              That leaves Michigan with $85k and Arizona with $92.5k.

            </ul>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             In a world without jock taxes, Michigan and Arizona would have simply charged their resident athletes full taxes for both days at their own tax rates, leading to $85k for Michigan and $90k for Arizona (and far less compliance work).

             The exceptions are high-tax states like California, New York, and New Jersey, which all charge high-income earners more than 10%. They collect taxes from visiting athletes playing in their state and still collect a sizable portion of income from their resident athletes’ road games, after a credit, because their tax rates are so much higher.

             Michael Jordan’s Revenge, in other words, didn’t bring Illinois and similar states millions more in tax revenues. It just helped them compete in a game they can’t afford to quit.

             When Philadelphia began targeting athletes for a municipal tax in the 1990s, it also cracked down on doctors and lawyers who visited the city. Many states could do the same: Of the 41 states that charge income tax,
             <a style="color: #192733; text-decoration: underline !important;">
              around half
             </a>
             require visitors to pay income tax if they work for a single day in the state. (Others have grace periods for several days or weeks.)

            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             States have historically not bothered with average visitors. They track high-income earners with public schedules like athletes, “so they don’t have to focus on low-dollar-amount people,” according to

             “There was a lot of grace given during the pandemic, but we’re past that now,” said Jared Walczak, vice president of state projects at the Tax Foundation. “States are getting more serious about this.”
            </p>

              If states fear they’ve lost income taxes from big employers who let remote workers live in a different state, they may crack down on visiting remote workers, although it’s unlikely they’d go after people who spend a couple of days in a state, according to Walczak.
             </li>
             <li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 0 0 0 15px; padding: 0px;">
              The states could force big employers to track the locations of their remote employees and withhold taxes in the appropriate jurisdictions, as professional sports teams have done for decades. The employees would then have to file returns in the jurisdictions they visited.
             </li>
            </ul>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             To ward off this scenario, the Mobile Workforce Coalition and others
             <a style="color: #192733; text-decoration: underline !important;">
              have pushed
             </a>
             for Congress to pass federal legislation that would create a 30-day grace period for a visiting worker in any state.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             Despite bipartisan support, similar bills
             <a style="color: #192733; text-decoration: underline !important;">
              have stalled
             </a>
             since at least 2012, although Walczak believes the idea could gain steam in the near future.
            </p>
            <p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 140%; margin: 5px 0px 10px;">
             But a long wait could be troubling. As states have realized with the jock tax, once somebody starts playing, everybody joins in.
