SUMMARY OF REGULATION:

This regulation explains the rules for the taxation of income received by a non-resident professional team athlete. Generally, a non-resident professional team athlete's Massachusetts source income is based on the proportion of duty days spent in the state compared to the duty days spent in all states multiplied by the athlete's compensation for services rendered as a member of a professional athletic team. Duty days include all days from training period to last day of competition. Also, there is a composite tax return filing option for teams as an agent for two or more qualified electing non-resident team members.
