Hello.
I am attending a university in California on an F1 visa.

I am currently working in Japan as a part time intern for a company that has a branch office in Los Angeles. 2020 I took a class in the fall semester as part of my curriculum that gave me credit for doing an internship. I am still continuing it as a part-time job. I am going back to LA this week, is it illegal for me to work remotely while being a student in the US with my current company ？ Also, do I or the company only pay taxes in Japan or do I have to pay taxes in the US ？ I have a certificate of residence in Japan. I am confused because some articles on the internet say that I am allowed to work if the money is transferred to my Japanese account in Japanese yen, while others say that I am not allowed to work over there. By the way, my job is to write blog posts for the company's website.

I will graduate in the spring semester, then I will return to Japan and join the company in September 2021.

I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

If the salary is deposited in a Japanese bank, there should be no problem.

＃ 7
When you have a residence in the US, you are a resident of the US and a non-resident in Japan, which is illegal unless you have moved your residence abroad
Whether you are a student or an expatriate, the IRS does not care.
If your address is in the U.S., at least the U.S. IRS will interpret it that way
And if the Japanese company that pays your salary does not pay you well, there will be problems with tax withholding and social insurance.
＃ 7 don't even know such common sense ？

By the way
＞ F visa is a foreigner for 5 years, so,
F visa is a foreigner for life. Or can you become an American after 5 years ？
You're an odd one.

I remember a few years ago when I googled a similar question about F1 being a violation, I found a site where lawyers answer legal questions and it came up that it is a violation. The part about being in the US and working even if the work is outside of the US is what seems to be the sticking point. I'm not sure if they can actually crack down on it, but it seems like it would be a bad idea if they were to find out at some point.

＃ 7 is just saying that a student on F1 for more than 5 years is treated as Resident for tax purposes. I'm explaining that there is a difference between Resident and No resident to pay taxes. I'm saying that if you are a F1 and treated as a No resident, you don't have to file taxes in the US if you paid taxes in Japan.

tax man

This lonely old man called ignorant is as ignorant as his name suggests and knows nothing about things, but he just looks forward to getting involved in his spare time in any topic, so
don't deal with him if he makes a mistake.
