At last year's NIL Summit, we heard loud and clear from student-athletes that they want more education about how to file taxes for income earned through NIL activities. This new revenue stream comes with new responsibility...taxes! 

At INFLCR, we're focused on supporting the collegiate institutions we serve, sharing knowledge on all things NIL, from brand building to creating connections with local businesses and, yes, taxes. But we needed some help from the experts.

NIL & Taxes Round Table

Through our new partnership with TurboTax, INFLCR student-athletes can access financial education, tax tools, experts, and other resources to guide them through the tax filing process. We hosted an INFLCR TurboTax Roundtable on March 13 featuring an expert from Intuit TurboTax to help answer any questions student-athletes have about filing their taxes. Check out the recording.
