Win Olympic Gold, Pay the IRS U.S. Olympic medal winners will owe up to $9,000 to the IRS. WASHINGTON, D.C. ? While 529 hardworking athletes proudly represent the United States in the 2012 Olympics, any medals and money they earn wearing red, white and blue will be taxed by the IRS. According to research done by the Americans for Tax Reform Foundation, U.S. Olympic athletes are liable to pay income tax on medals earned and prizes received at the London games. American medalists face a top income tax rate of 35 percent. Under U.S. tax law, they must add the value of their Olympic medals and prizes to their taxable income. It is therefore easy to calculate the tax bite on Olympic glory. At today?s commodity prices, the value of a gold medal is about $675. A silver medal is worth about $385 while a bronze medal is worth under $5. There are also prizes that accompany each medal: $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver, and $10,000 for bronze. So how much will U.S. Olympic medal winners have to pay in taxes to the IRS? Medal/////Tax/////Prize Tax/////Total Tax Burden Gold/////$236/////$8,750//////$8,986 Silver////$135/////$5,250//////$5,385 Bronze///$2///////$3,500//////$3,502 American gold medal winners will pay the IRS up to $8,986. Silver medal winners will pay up to $5,385. Bronze medal winners will pay up to $3,502. It gets even worse. Not only do our Olympic athletes have to pay taxes on their medals and prizes ? chances are their competitors on the field will face no such taxation when they get home. Because the U.S. is virtually the only developed nation that taxes ?worldwide? income earned overseas by its taxpayers, our Olympic athletes face a competitive disadvantage that has nothing to do with sports. ![]() ![]()

Kick in the nuts to those that literally spend their whole lives training with virtually no compensation aside from personal pride.

The value of those medals is much higher than the commodity price of them. I'm not saying that they should be taxed on them, I don't think they should, but any Olympic gold medal is worth a decent amount of money and if it is from a well-known athlete it can be worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Um.... We also tax our military, teachers, and police officers. Get over it.
(Come to think of it, that's a great incentive for teachers if they no longer had to pay taxes.)

Maybe they could make them "selves" a non profit organization, and pay the winnings into said account and enjoy the shelter giving to this type of setup

Its not for the medals, Its because The United States Olympic Committee rewards Olympic medalists with honorariums. A gold medal brings $25,000. Silver medals get you $15,000. And a bronze is worth $10,000 and so they are taxed as if its income because it is.

It makes sense, but I agree too that it'd be a grand gesture to make this income tax-free.

i'm sure it's Obamas fault...
but actually unless it's a lottery win, in most countries price money is income and will be taxed

The cash I understand. Taxing the value of the medal I don't. It would make sense to tax them if they ever sold it, but simply winning it shouldn't make them have to pay tax on the medal itself. I don't ever remember anyone paying tax on bowling or BMX trophies.
Oh well. Like it or leave. |

I'm sure according to Sean Hannity there are athletes who are refusing to go to the Olympics because they will have to pay taxes if they win something.

World Series is full of multimillionaires, people that get paid big money to play a game for big money. Olympians spend big money, training to be great, to represent their country. To thank them, we tax their glory. Stupendous!

Actually it is pro basketball players can play in the Olympics, tennis stars also. Micheal Phelps is worth 45 million. The days of Al Oerter ,working a day job and training at night are long over.

There was a story a few years back about the guy who caught Barry Bond's record breaking homerun ball. They said it was worth about a million dollars. The guy was considering keeping it, but then found out he could be taxed on the value of the ball so he could end up having to pay over $300K in taxes if he decided to hold onto it so he ended up selling it.

They're working on making Olympic prizes for US athletes tax exempt. Look up the Rubio bill.

in reality like the article I posted said , a accountant worth half their salt would get it close to zero if not zero. You have some many expenses to go against it.
