Not a jock tax really. If I work 5 months in New York State and I work 5 months in Massachusetts I get 2 months vacation and owe both states income tax on my earning in their states.

I just don't make $100K a game and cry a lot ...
Terrible example. A better example would be if you worked in New York but also had to file tax returns in California, Nevada and Oregon because you want to one day business meetings in the other states.

I think it's fair to call it a "Jock Tax" when it was started by California specifically for athletes.
