I posted this in another thread, but this may make you happier re the outcome of Darnold winning:
If anyone wonders if the horrors about California are true - just google NFL players and what happens to non resident ones when they play there. Example - Sam Darnold, wins a Superbowl, his base salary is about 175K for that win. His tax bill due to California's punitive tax code against sports stars and days they are in the State - $250K. He lost $75K for winning the Superbowl. How anyone lives in that morass is beyond me.
I wonder what is next - will they start charging you an entry fee at the airport to visit there?

This is not only a California phenomenon so don’t paint it that way. Many states (except those that don’t have an income tax at all like Florida) have a so-called jock tax and it is an axiom of tax law that if you work in a state other than the state of your residence, you are obligated to pay income tax based on the number of days you worked in that state.
