Sports and entertainment industries continue to grow, and the taxing authorities want their share of the pie. Understand the rules that apply to U.S. athletes and entertainers working abroad. With the enormous contracts high-profile clients receive and the public nature of their compensation, they are easily found, and their work frequently takes them across international borders. Be prepared to work with these clients, as well as foreign athletes and entertainers performing in the United States.

Learning Objectives: 

• Identify the proper source of income for athletes and entertainers—the results can be surprising


• Determine how to provide tax-advantaged planning to international athletes and entertainers


• Recognize how to prepare and negotiate a Central Withholding Agreement for a foreign athlete or entertainer in the United States
