But he doesn't live in New Jersey. A travelling salesperson doesn't pay taxes there. Why should he?
He doesn't get taxed by Illinois for income earned in New JerseyA Bears player who plays in New Jersey, therefore, gets taxed three times on the same dollar: once by the federal government, once by Illinois, and once by New Jersey. That's ridiculous. (And Obama wants to raise his taxes even further.)
That's not what the article says:
"New Jersey, and every other state that imposes a jock tax, taxes players on their calendar-year income from each employer.
<snip>
But should Manning continue his career into the 2014 season, New Jersey will collect an additional $45,000 from him by taxing income he has not even earned yet."
Afaict, it says that they are taxing his annual income, not his week's income.
:shrug:
AFAIK, your taxes are calculated in the state you live in. For example, as a Truck driver for a medium sized company, they are located with their HQ in Nashville TN, I live in SC, but drive through TN four times a week at least, that technically mean that I earn at least a part of my income from being in the states of SC, NC, TN, KY, OH, IN. That doesn't mean that I owe each one of the states tax money, that is insane.
There are two possibilities with Truck drivers. 1. They don't make enough to either be worth going after or they are below likely thresholds. 2. It could interfere with Interstate Commerce and therefore, the Commerce Clause.
They try to collection from all the usual targets including entertainers and of course, sports. It has created a whole industry to help these individuals comply with all the various taxes as they travel around the country.
In my nearby city of Philly, they charge income tax for those living in the city and they also charge another rate for those who live outside the city--including those who live in NJ. It's their city, they can tax those who work in their city/state.
Yeah, thus the reason I moved out of the NE after 20 years.
I have to give you credit for lasting that long.
I just love steamed crabs....

My younger brother will soon be leaving Annapolis, and he's heading for either the NC or SC coast. It seems MD has finally and completely gone off the deep end.
Whatever. Your state income tax rate is higher than mine in PA. Then again, I probably wouldn't make as much if I lived in SC.
Not necessarily....I make more, largely because I work for a better company down here...But, none the less, better weather, nicer people, and lower overall cost of living. Plus I live in proximity that I can be at a lake, in the mountains, or at the ocean, plus I live near a golf course that is amazing! and since the average winter temp here is above 50 degrees, it's open year round.....
You are not listening to my specific concern.
Conservatives have been, and continue to be, so wrong about so many things, that it's almost gotten to the point where I assume they're lying until they can prove that they are telling me the truth. So I am deeply, deeply skeptical about the claim presented to me in the OP. And I will not accept it unless sure-fire evidence is presented to me.

Yes, but he would be paid his $15 million salary whether or not they made it to the Super Bowl. He earned that money in the regular season, none of it in NJ.

Good point. Makes me realize I am trying to discuss something that's over my head. My only experience was the one house sale but of course, i clearly made my profit in CA. Maybe its based on a specific action that earns the money in the other state?
We'll need a tax person to help us learn more.

Only if by "specific action" you mean "a large variety of work for pay"
Basically, if you're going to work for money in a state, you have to comply with that state's laws. Some states have a law that says if you earn money in their state (some forms of employment are exempted), you have to pay income on a share of your annual income, with the share being proportionate to the amount of time you spent working in the state. So if you spend one week working in the state, then you pay state income tax on 1/52 of your annual income.
When it comes to sales, such as your house sale, the law says that sales are considered to have taken place wherever the exchange was completed. If your sale was in CA, then you have to pay CA sales tax regardless of where you reside.
Then please answer the question I responded to. What about interstate truckers?
I was responding to "what the hell is a jock tax and why should I believe it exists."
Presented to you? If you're posting in this thread, you could look for the evidence yourself since you fear someone is lying to you. Or you could drop it if it isn't of sufficient interest to you to prompt a search for the truth. Just sitting back and taking this as an opportunity to smear all conservatives doesn't reflect any specific concern other than the aforementioned smear.
I don't blame you.
OTOH, they feel the same about us and I know a lot of good ones in my daily life.
Like the teacher who will host our annual Super Bowl party.
Please do your part by helping to elect Michelle Nunn and other state Dems .
Better weather? Some times of the year, sure. Except those times with high humidity and hurricanes. Enjoy your recent storm?
nicer people: most Pennsylvanians are overly polite
lower cost of living: could be.
lake, mountain, ocean: check, check, check.
My average winter high is about 45 degrees (except January).
Golf course: got plenty of those. Just course down the road hosted the US Open last year.
Point is, that there are nice places all over the place and there are some crap holes too.
For this discussion, we also have plenty of athletes coming to the state who will actually be paying these taxes--two major league cities, more to collect
That is not correct, the law is pretty clear on what qualifies for which tax and what doesn't. You are comparing the traditional W2 vs the special 'jock' tax many, but not all, states use. For W2/1099 the trucker lists a home of record, the company as well and the address written on the paycheck. W2 withholds most of the time for the state of residence- a 1099 is on his own.
You damn well better believe I will! And guess what, after the botched handling of our snowstorm earlier this week, Georgia Republicans have already taken a hit in the polls.
