About NILTaxCPA
Meet the CPA + EA team dedicated to helping college athletes navigate NIL taxation with confidence and clarity.
Our Mission
Empowering college athletes to maximize their NIL earnings through expert tax planning and education.
NIL taxation is complex, confusing, and constantly evolving. Athletes are suddenly classified as self-employed business owners, facing quarterly tax payments, multi-state compliance, and penalties they never saw coming. We saw college athletes getting blindsided by tax bills they didn't expect—and we knew we could help. That's why we created NILTaxCPA: to provide specialized tax guidance that protects athletes, educates families, and gives coaches resources to support their teams.
