Any tax preparers prepare taxes for Pro athletes?

[AZ-Tax]

Got a call ealier this week from the spouse of a pro athlete that just moved in my neighborhood. I finally got a hold of them today and they decided to mail 09 taxes back to their current tax preparer but may use me for 2010 taxes. Just inquring who on this board has experience with these tax returns for I would like to contact you during the off season.

I do not do any for the simple reason that I am a not prepared to do multiple cities, states and countries.

I have a professional baseball coach - yes they are a "pain" because of the multiple states, counties, cities that want their "share" (He worked for Toronto a couple of years and the Canadian return is very difficult)!
Another "issue" is that they get "royalites" from ball card companies and their professional "league" - with no taxes withheld of course.....
Just make sure that YOU are compensated for your work!

We've done a number of them over the years. They're really not that complicated, just take a long time to make sure you have all the correct state/city returns.
