Important Form W-4 Withholding
Allowance Certificate Reminder

Purpose: Complete Form W-4 so that the FMSMF can withhold the appropriate income tax from your future payments. Consider completing a new Form W-4 each year and when your personal or financial situation changes.

Since you last filed Form W-4 with the Film Musicians Secondary Markets Fund office did you...

  • Marry or divorce?
  • Gain or lose a dependent?
  • Change your name?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions you may need to file a new Form W-4.
