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.

Last year's Tax Return returned over $3000, but this year, even though my income is down, I only got $870 back.
I can't get Stimulus checks, so I'm stumped.

Can I do it myself looking at last year's TAX returns ？ It looks like Turbo TAX

No house, 1 child, only husband works
I don't do any investments

The person who was doing my TAX has returned home and a good person I can't find a good one. I feel like I am being ripped off.

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.

There are people here who live alone and feel lonely, and to fill that loneliness,
they poke around on completely unrelated people.

There are also a lot of people on this board who are looking for someone to blame and vent their frustrations

I don't think I can do it 😅I'm having trouble now because as TAX RETURN said, they did a good job of researching and doing it every year.

Someone said bad things about TAX MAN ！ First negative post I've seen. I don't know anyone who would be that nice and give free advice like that. I'm surprised.

j visa This is in response to your question regarding the postdoc's tax return.

＞ 2018 ・ Since I am a non-resident in the US for 2019 and have been in the US since 2018,
＞ I thought it would fall within the 2 year period under the tax treaty, so I did not file that amount in the US and
＞ had a Japanese tax attorney I had a Japanese tax accountant pay the tax in Japan.

This was a big mistake.

For the first two years on the J visa, I should have reported that income in the US and treated it
tax free under Article 20 of the US-Japan tax treaty. Salary paid from Japan through a US university, even if
not properly processed by the US university, should be reported in writing with a copy of the payment record and attached to the tax return
, stating that this income is not subject to US-Japan' Tax Treaty Article 20
taxation. You should have filed a tax return in the U.S., explaining in writing that this income is exempt from taxation under Article 20 of the U.S. Japan's Tax Treaty.

If you had asked earlier, I could have answered your question, but I think it is too late now.

＞ ① Is it correct that I only need to submit Form 1040 to the IRS this time ？
＞ Also, what is the face value of the income that I should enter, even though I am a resident alien but I have 1042 － S ＋
＞
＞ for the month after 2 years have passed since coming to the U.S. (in this case, after fall 2020 - end of year) ？

For the 3rd year, the amount of 2,042 for the 1st year is not included. With respect to the tax return, unlike the first and second years,
the tax exemption amount from the end of the two-year tax exemption period
until then, and the income from the third year until December 31 are calculated separately and reported as taxable income at
1040 for that portion.

Thus, two returns are made: one for income
up to the end of the second year on 1040NR, which is reported on 1040NR and treated tax free under Tax Treaty.
Next, income from the third year through December 31 is filed normally on a 1040.
The 1040NR is a Dual Status Statement and the 1040 is marked as a Dual Status Return
. In other words, the two returns are prepared and filed together.

＞ ② The income on the form to be submitted to California is
＞ the sum of all salaries received from Japanese universities for 2020 ＋ the face value of 1042-S
＞. ？ Do I have to attach any documents to prove the amount of salary from Japan
＞ ？

Since there is no special tax treaty treatment for California tax returns, I am not sure if I can file a tax return for the entire year.
I will report all income earned for the year.
You will pay quite a bit.

This is how we will process your tax return based on the information you provided.
This year, I have five tax returns for J visa holders, including the one I completed yesterday, and
every well-known university is processing them in different ways and cannot process them without a letter of explanation
and I have already sent a J visa to the S University in San Francisco. I have already agreed to contact
the J visa holder at S University in San Francisco to see what documents he should submit to the university
from the beginning of his assignment
due to the university's payroll processing.

Even if you understand the concept of filing, documentation is a whole other world, and I don't think you can do Dual Status Returns
if you are a professional and have never handled them. If you decide
that you cannot do it, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
