TAX FREE JETER

New York state tax officials have settled their case against Derek Jeter.

Tax officials had claimed that Jeter should have paid three years of taxes as a New York state resident.

The New York Daily News says the case has been settled.

Terms of the settlement aren't being disclosed.

NY officials claimed Jeter maintained a residence in Manhattan and should have been taxed as a state resident from 2001 to 2003. Jeter said he was a Florida resident and didn't owe New York taxes.

A judge said it was up to the state to prove that Tampa was no longer Jeter's home.
