Student Athlete-Empowering Initiatives

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Liberty Tax Has Partnered with Texas Christian University

— October 12, 2024 — Social Good
Liberty Tax has partnered with Texas Christian University to launch a campaign aimed at helping student-athletes manage the financial complexities of earning income through Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals. This initiative seeks to educate athletes on the tax responsibilities associated with NIL income, which can come from endorsements, merchandise sales, partnerships, and other ventures. Liberty Tax will provide tax preparation services, consultations, and resources, both virtually and in-person, to help Texas Christian University athletes and their families navigate potential challenges like tax filings, liabilities, and financial aid impacts.

Given that NIL deals introduce new financial and legal obligations, this partnership addresses a critical gap by offering expert guidance. The campaign aims to prevent potential tax-related issues by equipping students with the necessary tools and knowledge.
