State Tax Withholding Certificates for Production Crew

The 2020 Federal Form W-4 did away with traditional withholding allowance numbers, simplifying the process for some but complicating it for crew workers. This means that the Federal W-4 can no longer be carried over to many state withholding certificates, most of which still use the traditional allowance numbers for crew employee withholding.

Therefore, when being paid by a Media Services payroll company, production crew members will need to separately fill out and submit a state withholding certificate, if available for your state. In the absence of a state withholding certificate on file, we will default to the highest applicable withholding rate for that state.
