NIL Income for Student-Athletes: Tax Implications and Emerging Pitfalls for Practitioners
The expansion of NIL opportunities has created complex tax issues for student-athletes, whose income is generally treated as self-employment business income.

Cloud-based SaaS is treated as a taxable data processing service in Texas, with 80% of the sales price subject to sales tax, compared with 100% taxation for traditional software licenses.
