Income operations

Separate paid cash from pending and overdue pipeline so the tax picture does not drift.

Quarterly planner

Safe-harbor targets, payment history, remaining amounts, and deadline tasks stay visible.

Deduction workflow

Capture business-purpose notes, receipt status, categories, and estimated savings.

Form reconciliation

Track expected 1099s without confusing forms for the source of taxable income.

Feature depth

More than logging. It creates review-ready context.

Each workflow layer adds the details a family, advisor, or CPA needs later without turning the product into a tax-season spreadsheet.

Income command center

Paid, pending, overdue, draft, and non-cash NIL records stay separated so the tax estimate does not drift.

Tax planner

Athledgr distinguishes confirmed liability from projected exposure, tracks estimated payments, and shows what is still due.

Advisor review

The app flags missing support before the year-end handoff: valuation notes, state sourcing, W-9 gaps, form matching, and classification uncertainty.

Review scoreBlockersWarningsHandoff notes

Elite handoff

A parent, advisor, or CPA can review the year faster because income, deductions, forms, payments, and assumptions are already organized.

Export organized deal and tax records for CPA review

Opendorse import availability may depend on platform access, user permissions, or supported file uploads. Athledgr is not a CPA firm. Tax estimates are for planning purposes and should be reviewed with a qualified tax professional.

NIL tax review layer

Built to surface the questions a tax pro will ask later.

Athledgr is not just a calculator. It keeps taxability, form expectations, fair-market-value support, W-9 status, and quarterly payment gaps visible throughout the year.

Review

W-9 and payer form readiness

Know which payer records should be watched for 2026 1099-NEC/MISC reporting and which records are still taxable without a form.

Blocker

Non-cash FMV support

Track product, services, gift cards, and mixed compensation with valuation notes before memory fades.

Clear

State sourcing and classification

Flag missing state assignments, uncertain Schedule C treatment, and payment methods that may create 1099-K matching risk.

Operating system

Every feature points toward a cleaner filing season.

Capture

Income, non-cash value, payer type, state source, W-9 status, contract status, and deliverables live on the deal record.

Plan

The quarterly planner connects confirmed tax, projected exposure, safe-harbor targets, payment history, and reminder tasks.

Support

Deductions include receipt coverage and business-purpose notes so year-end handoff is not just a spreadsheet export.

Reconcile

1099 records are matched against income without teaching athletes to ignore taxable income below form thresholds.

Import

CSV previews catch duplicates and validation issues before income, deductions, or payments touch the workspace.

Handoff

Elite packages review flags, summary copy, CSV exports, and a print-ready view for parents, advisors, and CPAs.

Workflow surfaces

Designed around the work athletes actually repeat.
