Is it possible for him to claim residency elsewhere than the LA area and escape the LA taxes? Just curious, I’ve no knowledge of this but it would make sense that an NIL group paying him might be able to find some way to help him escape those high taxes. Although, he is California resident anyway right?I'd pay money to see Daddy Nic's face after taxes on that first LA paycheck.
He can possibly do what Dodgers have done and see if they can defer his money and at that point when it is paid live in a more conducive state with taxes. That’s one reason Ohtani did what he did.

As said, I’ve no knowledge on how this situation works bc I’ve never made anywhere close to this type of money in 1year, but in my experience big money usually finds a way to mitigate financial loss through taxes.
The money is Nico's, not Daddy's. The question would be, "where is Nico's official residency, and what are California's laws?" Nico was born in Cali, as someone else pointed out. And some states tax whatever money you earn or receive within their borders whether you are a citizen or not. I think you're talking federal income tax here. Not state.But this is not the case for American Samoans. As US nationals, they are not subject to worldwide taxation while living in American Samoa, or anywhere else.
Sure, if an American Samoan as a US national lives in, say, California, he or she will pay all the applicable federal and state taxes, just like any other US resident.
However, if they leave the United States, they stop being subject to IRS jurisdiction altogether. That means US nationals (who are not citizens) can have a tax-free and reporting-free life if they move to one of the many countries with no income tax, or a territorial tax.
And again, that’s a critical distinction from US citizens, who remain under Uncle Sam’s tax jurisdiction no matter where they live. This Unique Loophole Exempts 100,000 Americans from Taxes | Schiff Sovereign.
