questions for wives and girlfriends of athletes
Income
Do I Pay Gift Tax on Gifts From My Husband?
No. Gifts between spouses who are US citizens are covered by the unlimited marital deduction, so no gift tax applies at any amount, and gifts are never income to the recipient anyway. Gift tax, when it exists, is the giver's obligation, not yours, and mostly involves paperwork rather than tax.
How Do Taxes Work When We Move States Mid-Season?
The jock tax on duty days applies to his athlete income, not yours. Your business income is taxed by your state of residence. A genuine mid-season move makes you both part-year residents of two states, splitting the year between two returns, with credits preventing double tax on the same dollars.
Is an Athlete Spouse's Content Income Self-Employment Income?
Yes. Content income, sponsorships, ad revenue, and appearance fees earned in your own right are self-employment income once the activity is run for profit. You file your own Schedule C and pay 15.3% self-employment tax on net earnings over $400, even on a joint return with your husband.
