Illegal alien passport expired

Question
#1
  • 疑問

  • 2021/05/20 00:49

I have a friend from language school who stayed here with an expired visa, and his Japanese passport also expired last year. I thought maybe he can't check in at the airport with an expired passport ？. I think we should go to the embassy for now ？
she doesn't want to go to the embassy because she is afraid to go to the embassy because her visa is expired.

Also, I heard that the corona inspection in Japan is getting stricter now and there are many people who were sent back to the US even though they are Japanese citizens because of incomplete documents, etc. In his case, he is overstayed, so I am worried that he will not be allowed to enter the US even if he is sent back. \I don't understand the meaning of deporting ？ one's own citizens to another country, but I have seen some people here who have been here for 10 years ？ illegally or know someone who has been here for 10 years or something like that, so I asked here.
Thank you for your time.

About ITEN Number

Question
#1
  • Takahiii

Hi, I would like to start working on getting an ITEN number now and have a few questions.
I am currently a student F-1 and have been here for 3 years. I am currently a student F-1 and have been here for 3 years. I have done some research and it seems that students can get an ITEN number, but how difficult is it to get one? My girlfriend says that it is better to work with a tax accountant/accounter? She thinks it's not as easy as I think it is. I am currently a student, so I am living on the edge of my seat... So I asked the question considering the cost and other aspects.

If anyone is a tax attorney or knows anything about this, please contact me.

I assume you need an ITIN to do a tax return, in which case you can attach a W-7 and they will issue you a number.

ITIN application is basically ＜ not possible ＞ alone. （ Exceptions include being a member of an LLC, etc. ） Attached to a tax return.


Simply put, 100% of ITINs are issued to anyone who needs one.　Even accountants can't do W-7's on your behalf unless they are registered AA's or CAA's.

Dear tax man
I have a flight question.
I am sorry to bother you, but I would be grateful if you could enlighten me.
A friend of mine is working at a certain place on OPT. I understand from my limited knowledge that Medicare and SS tax are not deducted from her paycheck while she is on OPT, but when I asked her to show me her pay stubs, she was sure they were deducted. She can still get a refund since she has been there for a few months now, but they have been hiring OPTs there for 10 years now and have been deducting Medicare and SS all along. Most of the kids have already returned home and were working there without such knowledge.
Can I report such a case to the IRS and have it audited ？
I hope there is a penalty or something if possible because it is a very, very black company.
I would be happy to hear from you.

Please refer to the following answers to your questions.

Do OPT's have to pay FICA ߋ(Social Security Tax and Medicare Taxes) ？

Students on CPT, OPT, STEM OPT are exempt from FICA Taxes (Social Security and Medicare Taxes).
In other words, you don't have to pay FICA taxes on your paycheck.
Some employers would deduct those taxes from your paycheck.
But, you can get a refund on FICA taxes from the IRS.
This guide will walk you through the instructions and additional details. https://www.happyschools.com/opt-exempt-fica-taxes/

BibiNavi circa 2004-2008
Questions about taxes include why the OPT payment to Social Security is
deducted from OPT payments ？. These days, the number of international students has decreased
significantly, so the question is not asked as often, but at the time, we frequently answered it.

Why is Social Security deducted from the OPT salary ？

One has to do with the forms you submit for employment. If you are a US resident
when you are hired, you will file a W-4 or W-9 form. However, the W-9 is a form for
U.S. residents, while an OPT on an F-1 visa is not a U.S. resident but only a
"foreign national" by definition of an F visa, since he/she is a foreign national and only has permission to work in the U.S. for a certain period
. Therefore, they are not obligated to pay Social
Security or Medicare, which are U.S. Social Security expenses.

Therefore, you can submit the form W-8BEN （ https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8ben.pdf ）
instead of W － 9 to the company
to get FICA deducted from your pay check. FICA can be avoided by submitting the form W-8BEN
instead of W-9. However, this is understood by all companies that publicly "solicit OPTs"
and the company should specify the form, but in practice, I believe there are quite a few cases where this is not
consciously done to avoid the accounting burden.


Is that FICA not Refundable ？

Form843 （ at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f843.pdf ）
It is possible to get a Refund from the IRS.
Of course, you do not simply fill out the form and send it to the IRS, but you mail it to the IRS with a
copy of your W-2 or other form and proof of OPT, and explain that you have calculated the Refund amount and do not have to pay FICA.

What about your question about the penalty against the company ？

Proving whether it was a payroll processing error or the result of a conscious ≪malicious∩ (bad faith) result is
usually difficult, but

that you knowingly collected FICA on an OPT, you can state in a letter of explanation that you attach when you
attach your FICA calculation or proof of OPT, that "despite
continuously employing OPT for many years, you have failed to process FICA at all."

However, it would be
more effective for you not to take any emotional action at this stage, such as holding a grudge. The purpose of the Form 843 is only to refund the FICA paid.

If you again produce in court the insurance card that was valid on the date of that ticket, the fine for failure to carry the insurance card will disappear.

Red light camera tickets are also very expensive at ＄ 495.
If you pay by credit card, it is even more ＄ 5 plus.
I wonder why it is in Arizona that they operate the red light cameras in LA.

If you Contest that Citation and appear in Court or file a Form with Trial by Written Declaration, you may get a Dismiss or a reduction. At the same time you have to pay the bail （ amount on the ticket ） but it will be returned if you win the case.

We are both company employees （ with W2 ） and dependents （ with children ）, we have never declared huge profits or made huge donations, we are the kind of family that used to get a refund about 2 weeks after efile. . Are there any of you who have been waiting almost a month like us ？?

In my case, the application was filed on February 21, the Stete was credited to my account immediately, but the Federal was credited to my account on April 8.
It took a month and a half. The delay seems to be due to the time and effort required for the Fed Relief money. Normally （ last year ） it took 2 ～ 3 weeks.
Also, the state government relief money ＄ 600 was deposited into our account on April 16. Today's information is that I will get another ＄ 600.

I have lived in an apartment under rent control for almost 10 years. I am currently paying rent on a Month-to-Month basis. Last week my landlord sold the property and he told me that I should pay the new owner from this month-to-month rent.

I am guessing here that maybe I will be signing a new contract with the new owner soon, but what will happen to the rent at this time ？ Since this is a rent-controlled property, is it max 3% up from what I was paying before or is the new Can the owner offer a totally different amount ？ I would appreciate it if someone could tell me more about this.

I did a little googling.

It seems that owners can request a new contract at any time if they follow the formal procedures for Month to Month contracts. If it is a new owner, it is very likely that he/she will ask for another contract renewal. This may result in an increase in rent or other unfavorable conditions for the renter, but it is quite natural for the lessor to want to renegotiate the contract again.

I did some research on the Covid Moratorium, which is a system that prevents forced evictions within a certain period of time, and rent increases seem to be a completely different issue. I believe that rent control continues to be in effect, so the increase will be within a set range. I am a complete amateur and have only done a little research so I could be wrong.

If you're going to raise the rent, don't say, "Pay the new owner from this month's rent."
You've sold the apartment, so the contract is blank and you can negotiate with the new owner starting this month. Then.
