American supermarkets, of course, but also Nijiya, Mitsuwa, Central, Seiwa,

Even in Japanese supermarkets, ground meat is too big
and difficult to use.

I also cook with a small amount of water.
If you don't want to add water, then you can use 4 chopsticks (or chopsticks) to stir the rice and it will break apart easier than 2 chopsticks.
I prefer water because it's easy and doesn't contaminate extra utensils.

I think I'm just writing about how not to do that because someone wrote that it clumps and is hard to use. ↑

I didn't know about using water, so I'll give it a try. It looks good to get rid of excess oil. I don't think the organic ground beef in Costco pouches that come in two pieces do not clump together. I'm not sure what you mean by clumping, but I fry it with a spatula, cutting it up a lot 😂.

Mr. Fitting

Yes... It takes a lot of effort to fry it like cutting/mashing.
I have to use 4 chopsticks, so adding a small amount of water is my standard cooking method. In addition to greatly reducing the amount of labor, it is possible to fry the fish without using any utensils and chopsticks, making the workload much lighter.

I made $ 3,300 in Uber in Nov 2021.
I am on OPT in F1.
I got a 1099K 1099NEC, but the NEC includes $ 1,200 or so Uber paid me ? and I have to pay TAX on this ?
I know someone who said I can just mail the 1040NR, state tax and check together. ?
I think I fall under schedule C. What form should I submit ? Should I also pay the state tax ?
I lost my F-1 this March. My OPT is for the rest of this year.
If there is any way to reduce the tax amount, please let me know !

Thank you very much !

> I have a total of just under $5000 in income from private work I did last year.

I am a so called Independent Contractor and not a company employee.

> My employer obtained an EIN number for my tax return and issued it to me
I filed a tax return with the W2 I received

My employer has been trying to get the form to send to the IRS to take effect this year. Your employer filed an EIN
this year in order to activate the form to submit to the IRS.

> The EIN number came back rejected because it was issued after this year.

I think that means I don't have an EIN at the time of employment or contract, so
since I did not apply for an EIN number this year at the time of employment,
payment for this year's work will be for income in 2022, the IRS data will show 2021 I think that means it is not treated as
income for the year 2021.

> I don't know how to resolve this as there is nothing to correct.

$ , I got 5 000 last year, and I think the job ( is probably a Baby Sitter type job
but if it is a ) payment, I do not need an IRS form.
If you treat it as a sole proprietorship on Schedule C, there should be no problem.

> If it was rejected by electronic filing,
> you can send the print out to the IRS. I am not sure if this is correct or not.

Reject means that the form was not accepted because it is different from the IRS data, so
you can e-file the form again
without using the form ( or the EIN number ) on the form, and it will be accepted. again and it will be accepted.
I think it is better not to file by Paper
because it will complicate matters.

However, since we do not know the actual contents of the form ( W - 2 ) etc., we cannot guarantee
that the above is correct. If you need to
check the contents of this message urgently, please send an e-mail to
the e-mail address in the message.

If you are filing as a sole proprietorship, you will be paid and will be penalized
after April 18.

Look closely at the W-2 form. Box a is the SS number. You cannot put an EIN here. So, the W-2 itself is wrong.

I think you put EIN in Schedule C of tax return, but Schedule C has 1099 as income and W-2 cannot be adjusted. 

You should ask the person who issued the W-2 to correct the W-2, ( cancel ) and issue a 1099-NEC with the SS number, or report it as Other Income on Schedule C without a 1099.  ( In that case, do not put the EIN on Schedule C ).

#76 Tax Return Today 16:34
Tax man,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. You are absolutely right, I was just reporting my income from babysitting last year. My employer was very considerate and requested that I file a W-2 instead of a 1099, but due to the date I got my EIN, I am now in the situation I am in now. I would like to switch to Schedule C and file again, but I am worried that it will cause problems for my employer who has already completed the tax return.

Recently, I feel that the atmosphere of BibiNavi has lost its old atmosphere of a place where Japanese people who are trying their best to help each other in the U.S. and there are many slanderous comments. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you very much.

As far as I know,

you go to the immigration line and get in the US Citizen and Legal Alien line,

when your number comes up you go to the kiosk terminal and have your Japanese passport and green card image

and your picture taken. and your picture, take the slip with your picture from the terminal

to the inspector and give him the three items, he will say "Wellcome Back to the United States"

return your passport and G-card, and that should be it.

( LOL )
They'll take at least 60% of your money though

They'll have video footage ? They'll probably find fault on your part
AAA will investigate that fault and determine how much you'll be compensated Car. If you only want to get what your insurance will pay for your car and injuries, let AAA take care of it
AAA and Geico are a world of difference
If you want more than just insurance, you will have to use your own lawyer
Even if your car is totaled, you can still get compensation from the other party. even if your car was totaled, they won't pay you the full amount, just the appraisal value
if your insurance covers uninsured or underinsured, you might be able to get some coverage from your own insurance.
If you get a lawyer, you can't settle the case forever. But if the other party has an uninsured car or looks poor, I won't do anything even if I accept the job.
Your own insurance company will provide you with enough guarantees as required by law.
If you want to get, for example, compensation for lost work time, or for the aftereffects of major surgery, a lawyer
If you can write here, it's not a big deal. I think it's a waste of time and effort
Whiplash aftereffects ? What did the air bag work for ( lol )

I also got hit by a car in front of my house in February. Luckily I wasn't in the car and there were witnesses so it wasn't a hit and run. My insurance Farmers insurance and the other party's insurance Geico. We each contacted our own insurance, but the other insurance Geico would pay for the damage to my car, so I took it to the designated body store, which turned out to be $ 4600 estimate. The parts I ordered finally arrived and it is being repaired now, it will take 2~3 weeks and the other party's insurance will pay for the rental car. Immediately after the accident, I was advised to settle out of court, but I didn't want to have any problems without using the insurance company, so I contacted the insurance company, even though the other party was a very nice person. As a result, everything went smoothly and without problems, so I am glad I did this.

Japan is in trouble with masks.

Problem / Need advice

  • 2022/04/09 17:48

In the U.S., the Corona restrictions have been eased and the masks have already been lifted. Americans have always disliked masks, and I don't think most of them wear them anymore. In Japan, however, the situation is reversed. People say, "It's hard for me to take off my mask because everyone else is wearing it," even though they don't have to wear it outdoors. I don't want to stand out without a mask. I wear it because it would be troublesome if the mask police say something," 90% of people wear masks due to peer pressure. Parents and children wearing masks in an empty park. ( Not during hay fever season. ) Ballplayers wearing masks in the entrance procession at the Koshien stadium.
Also, the National Governors' Association, which believes in masks so much, even forced 3-year-olds to wear masks, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare agreed to it. There are children as young as 3 years old who often walk around wearing masks,...what is going on in the thought process of their parents?
The Governor of Yamanashi Prefecture, who told people to always wear masks during club activities, is out of his mind.
When it gets hot from now on, will we still be wearing masks under the blazing sun in outdated Japan ? !

So I ask you all. To awaken the mask believers in Japan, please put your opinions in the opinion form on the website of the Japanese Prime Minister's Office ? I would like you to let people know that in the U.S., people can live normally without masks.

If this situation continues, Japan will be looked at strangely by the world.

Please help us.

Japanese are the only people in the world who have been wearing masks since before the corona
You said that when the outbreak was raging over here, there were almost no cases in Japan because Japanese people always wear masks
Have you seen the statistics ? California The number of infections in the state of California has been flat or declining for the past month. So masks are now optional.
But on 4 /8, the number of infections was double the average for the past month. This is consistent with when masks became optional
Again, most of these are all parents who got it from asymptomatic children. First of all, don't infect your children. ?
Koshien ball players, if one of them gets infected, the team will not be able to compete because they are considered to be in close contact. It is the team that needs to be very careful. It is not an order, but a team policy.
Also, you don't have to wear a mask for the rest of your life. Once you get over the mountain, it becomes optional.
You are free to make your own assertions. It's up to you, but let's be more aware of the facts
And it's not up to someone who lives in another country
Well, you can't say anything to a mask/vaccine denier.
