you'll need to bring!

#1 Tax & Employment Forms

At this workshop, we will help you and a family member complete a Federal Tax Form (W-4), a Wisconsin Tax Form (WT-4), and an Employment Eligibility Form (I-9). The forms are linked here but do not complete them before the workshop. There are very specific things to fill in and not fill in based on the kind of job this is.

For all 3 forms, you will need to know your Social Security #.

For the I-9 form, you will need to bring the following documents:

EITHER a U.S. Passport/Permanent Resident Card

OR one from each of these lists:

(1) Wisconsin ID, school ID with photo, voter's registration card, Native American tribal document, school report card with address, OR doctor record with address

(2) Social Security card, birth certificate, Native American tribal document, OR U.S. Citizen ID card

We will take a photo of or photocopy these documents at the workshop to keep in your file.

#2 Work Permit

If you are under 16 years old

If you will be under 16 years old on the first day of work (September 9, 2023), you will need to obtain a work permit. Here's how to do it:

(1) Apply online! Follow the instructions at this link.

(2) Check your email for a confirmation.

(3) Forward the email confirmation to Dominic Inouye (dinouye@teensgrowgreens.org) immediately.

(4) The government will mail your paper permit to our offices.)

#3 Bank Account

Official account info & direct deposit info

If you already have a bank account, you will need to send us the following or bring it to the August 29 workshop:

(1) your official account information from your bank (with your name and complete account # and routing #). This could be a paper copy, a PDF, or a screenshot. If you can't locate a paper copy or find it online, call your bank and a representative will be able to help you.

(2) our TGG Direct Deposit Permission Form letting us know the account # and routing # into which you'd like us to deposit your paycheck. This gives us permission to do so.

If you don't have a bank account yet, you will need to open one:

(1) You can go to Educators Credit Union in-person OR do a video call during business hours to set up an account with them. They will waive the $5 fee for opening a checking account. You will need to bring or have ready all of the following:

(a) a picture ID of some kind

(b) proof of address on it (mail addressed to you, report card with your address, etc.)

(d) a valid email address

(2) Or you can open up a checking and/or savings account (we suggest both!) at a bank of your choice. What you need to bring may vary bank by bank, so make sure to contact them.

When you've opened up a bank account(s), you will need to send the following to Dominic Inouye (dinouye@teensgrowgreens.org) or bring them to the May 15 or 17 workshop:

(2) our TGG Direct Deposit Permission Form letting us know the account # and routing # into which you'd like us to deposit your paycheck. This gives us permission to do so.
