W-4 form

What the W-4 form is and how it's used to withhold your taxes.

Last updated June 16, 2026

The W-4 form is the form that is completed in order for your resort to withhold taxes. 

Local state and US government taxes are withheld based on the number of deductions entered on your form. Please make sure to ask questions if you are not clear on how to complete the form. Legally the HR team cannot recommend how to complete it, but can support you with questions.

You will complete this during your first couple of days at the resort while in orientation.
