The Problem

Athlete tax friction is structural, not incidental.

The "Jock Tax" Problem

Every state and province you play or practice in can claim a slice of that day's income. Without a precise duty-day count, you default to overpaying, often across a dozen jurisdictions a season.

Cross-Border Double Taxation

Athletes splitting time between the US and Canada risk being taxed on the same income twice when IRS and CRA filings aren't coordinated through the treaty's Foreign Tax Credit provisions.

Non-Resident Filing Complexity

A missed state return or an unfiled Form 1040-NR / CRA T1 doesn't just cost a refund — it invites the exact kind of audit exposure that ends careers-worth of savings.

The System

The DutyDay Engine — built for the road.

A single-purpose tool you run yourself, in-season — free to use, and the same system our advisors rely on to build a defensible, state-by-state tax position at filing time.

01

In-Season Tracking

A frictionless daily log — game day, practice, or travel day, tied to the exact state or province you were in. Built to take seconds between reps, not hours at tax time.

02

Automated State Allocation

Every logged day rolls up into a live duty-day percentage per jurisdiction, giving your preparer the precise sourcing ratio each state and province is actually owed.

03

Audit-Proof Filing

Your season's duty-day record becomes the paper trail behind every non-resident return we file — so a state inquiry is answered with data, not guesswork.

Pricing

Free to track. Custom to file.

The DutyDay Engine is free to use for tracking your season, no card required. Filing, multi-state defense, and cross-border treaty work are priced per athlete based on your actual jurisdictions and complexity — book a consultation for an exact quote.

Who We Serve

A pilot cohort, kept deliberately small.

We take on a limited number of athletes and agencies each season so every client gets founder-level attention, not a rotating associate.

PWHL

League-wide cross-border travel between US and Canadian markets, with duty days split across both tax systems in a single season.

WNBA

Dense multi-state road schedules where a handful of untracked away games can shift thousands of dollars in state sourcing.

Cross-Border Athletes

Any athlete — drafted, traded, or signed across the US/Canada line — carrying dual filing obligations and treaty questions no generalist preparer handles well.

Founder Note
“Most athletes find out they’ve overpaid a state years after the season that caused it. We built APS to close that gap in real time — one team, two countries, no handoffs.”
