Submission has been required in the U.S. since January 26th here, which institution in Japan did you receive your experience ？
I'm looking for one myself, but the cheapest is 21,000 yen including tax, which is expensive.
It seems that kits are mostly mailed, but if you come to our clinic, it would be helpful if it is in Tokyo or the Tokyo city area.

Please let me know.

Dear Tax man

May I ask you a question ？
I am working as a post-doctoral researcher at this university since fall 2018.
I was able to file my 2018 ・ 2019 tax return last year using the non resident alien software registered at the university, but
this 2020 tax return is my third year, so when I entered my tax return into the university's However, when I input my 2020 tax return into the university's tax return software, it says "you are a Resident Alien for US federal tax purposes for 2020" and I can't use this software, so I have to file the same as a US citizen.

I think all I have to do is to submit Form 1040, but
I have only 1042-S, which is written on the internet that it is issued to non resident aliens, and when I contacted the department that issues W-2s at my university, I was told that my W-2 was not available. I was told that they don't have any, and all I am told is to ask all the places that issue 1042-S. \ム"I can't get a response if they are busy when I inquire there …. )
By the way, my salary is paid by the university I belong to in Japan, and it is listed monthly on my pay check here, but no taxes are deducted, especially for
2018 ・ 2019, since I am a non-resident in the US and have been in the US since 2018. Since I am in the U.S., I did not file a tax return for that amount in the U.S. and had a Japanese tax accountant pay the taxes in Japan, as I thought it would fall within the two-year period under the tax treaty. \모듈을 보려(I received a small amount from the American university as insurance premiums, which is listed on the 1042-S. \I am sorry for the length and lack of coherence, but my question is:

① Is Form 1040 the only document I need to submit to the IRS this time ？ and what is the face value of the income to be included in the 1042-S? Also, is it correct to include the face value of the income of the resident alien but 1042 － the face value of the S ＋ the face value of the salary from Japan for the month after 2 years have passed since he/she came to the US (in this case after fall 2020 - end of year) ？
However, it is not correct to include the face value of the salary from Japan like W-2 or 1042-S. I am not sure if the face value of the salary from Japan is correct. However, the only proof of salary from Japan like W-2 or 1042-S is the pay check issued by the university here. Will I have to ask the Japanese university to submit some documents in English? ？

② The income for the documents to be submitted to California is the total of all the salary received from the Japanese university for the year 2020 ＋ The face value of 1042-S. Is this correct? ？ In this case, do I have to attach some documents to prove the amount of salary from Japan? I was wondering if I could find any information about the actual documents to prove it.

I think it depends on the person if they can do it themselves. I have been doing it myself for many years, but friends and others said they couldn't tell by looking at it. Tax laws change every year （ sometimes suddenly ） so you need to be careful.

One time, I couldn't refuse a friend's referral and hired an accounting firm. The accounting firm never took responsibility for it, and it was all over after the fact.

As tax man wrote on the information board, those who are receiving unemployment insurance in 20 years will have to wait until the software is updated according to the new law.

We are a family of 4 and we buy 3 gallons of tap water at Ralphs, etc.
Since we are all home all the time, the water runs out fast and we have to buy more every time, and it takes up a lot of space
We are thinking of buying a water purifier to install in the kitchen or place in the house.
Is there anyone who uses Pi-water, which is mentioned in Nikkei magazine? ？
How does it taste like? ？
We are thinking about Kangen Water, but it is expensive, so we are looking for something more reasonable.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations for water purifiers.
Thank you very much.

＞ The one blooming in my garden, the name of which I have forgotten due to old age, has four katakana characters


It took me this long, but I finally remembered it. It was not four letters, but five.


Amaryllis Amaryllis

When we bought our current house, it was blooming only in the backyard, but we divided the plants （ and bulbs ） and planted them in the front yard. In addition, the waste water from washing the reverse osmosis membrane of the RO filter I mentioned earlier was drained out through a 1/2 inch hole in the kitchen wall by extending the tubing, and then filled with thin PVC tubing to extend it, taking advantage of the slight drop from the kitchen to the edge of the front yard. Now the amaryllis, plumeria, and other plants that are covered with that water bloom competitively with the guns when the weather warms up.

Japanese entertainment scoops up a gay affair every week. Ghetto adultery all around us. Finding a mate is also finding a gay adulterer.

I wonder who created this unnatural institution called marriage, which makes people swear to love one person for the rest of their lives, and for what purpose. I think that even if there is family love, the shelf life of a man and a woman is limited to 3 years ？ Are you all living with those feelings blocked out ？?

In the near future, global warming will become so severe that it will be difficult to secure food, and people will starve to death.

By 2100, the entire earth will have risen by 4 degrees Celsius, and this after less than one degree rise between 1800 and 2012.

The theory of human extinction by vaccines may become a reality.

Ladies and gentlemen ！ let me share a miraculous experience I had yesterday.

I went to the mall for the first time in a long time over the weekend while many people were staying out due to the Corona disaster. After running some errands, I went shopping at the Japanese American market. After that, I stayed out all through the evening.

While shopping at another store, I couldn't find the envelope with the cash in it anywhere in my bag, and realized I had dropped it somewhere.
It didn't fall out in the car either.
I remembered the circumstances of the last time I opened the Bag and my memory of seeing that envelope, and I thought, oh ！ maybe... I might have dropped it when I was shopping at the Japanese American market... I thought, "I might have dropped it when I was shopping at the Japanese market...". But the contents were cash.
Even if someone had picked it up, there was no way they would deliver it to me. I thought I had no choice but to give up, but I still contacted the Japanese American market with a prayer that ？ I might be able to find it.

Then, to my disbelief, the boy who was in charge of the cash register picked up the envelope I had paid for and delivered it to the service center ！ ！

He remembered the amount of money inside and delivered it smoothly to the service center. I was able to smoothly pick up the envelope at the service center.
I thought I would never find it again, but thanks to the trustworthy staff of this market, the money was safely returned to me ！

I was happy of course, but more importantly, it made me feel warm and happy at this time of the year when I was depressed by the Corona disaster. ！

I wanted to thank the boy at the cash register who picked it up and delivered it to me in person, but he said he couldn't accept it due to store policy, so I am posting this.

This market is Mitsuwa in Del Amotorens. The money was over $100 in it.
I'm glad they were really nice and trustworthy shoppers ！
They were very helpful.
Thank you very much.
