How the NFL avoids paying millions in taxes [View all]

With all eyes on the Super Bowl, the Seahawks and the NFL, KIRO 7 took a closer look at the NFL’s financial paperwork.

It turns out the league is a nonprofit.

When KIRO 7 told Seahawks fans, they found it hard believe.

Tax documents show the NFL is a nonprofit that makes $250 million a year in the form of dues from all NFL member teams. The league pays no federal incomes taxes on that money.
