Kelsey Plum would face $13,000 higher tax from one more dollar in contract, James Surowiecki notes

Kelsey Plum would face $13,000 higher tax from one more dollar in contract, James Surowiecki notes
Tax threshold impact on athlete pay

James Surowiecki, industry influencer, references Erick Erickson's claim regarding Kelsey Plum's LA Sparks contract. According to the statement, if Kelsey Plum were to earn just one additional dollar on her contract, she would owe $13,000 more in taxes.

The comment calls attention to a sharp tax threshold that could significantly impact player compensation in professional sports contracts.

Surowiecki has previously scrutinized similar claims about tax liabilities, including a case where he examined whether a woman earning less than $22,000 owed significant U.S. federal income tax (details). His past coverage also noted the $1-per-gallon increase in gas prices since the start of the Trump presidency (article). These reports reflect his broader focus on the concrete impacts of fiscal and economic policy.
