I have a question about tax returns, the SSN on the 2020.2021 and w-2 forms is different from my SSN, and when I told my company's accountant, he told me that the company cannot change it, and the accountant I am asking for is throwing me under the bus, so I don't know what to do.
I would appreciate your help.

I would like to apply for a green card furlough in Guam, and I was wondering if anyone knows a lawyer in Guam (preferably an immigration lawyer)? I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

There are times when property taxes double for homeowners ?.

It's a bit long.

●My sister and her husband live in a house in my mother's name ( Hawaii ) and claim they paid their own property taxes every month
●For some reason, payment letters come to Japan where my mother lives through 2021 ~ 2022.
●I send one of about 3 letters back from the sender ( maybe the IRS ) I'll return it. ( Maybe last year )

●Yesterday, my sister sent me a bill for double the amount of taxes I had paid, and she blames me for something I said, but I honestly don't remember
I tell her I think they probably just sent it to Hawaii.

●My friend who lives in a detached house says that she has never heard of taxes going up whether the parents or the children live there
●My sister talked to a lawyer and he said that the taxes will go up unless my mother lives there because it is in her name. She blames me like who told her that.
●I think it's not reasonable to be angry because my mother doesn't actually live there because she was found out ? I should rather consider myself lucky to have paid less until now. ( This is not as straightforward as it sounds. )
The point is that he has been filing false tax returns and is worried about whether this could be construed as tax evasion.
●My sister is upset that we are family and she treats people like crimes ?.
●I was just stating the main points of my concern, but it's better for a layman not to say easy things. Please settle the matter with a lawyer. When I told him that I had nothing to do with it and that I had nothing to blame him for, he turned the tables on me.

The exchange on that line is below

09:44 A What did you write when you sent the tax paper back to the city and county in Hawaii, sister ?
09:45 A Our taxes are about to double to $6548. The price went up
09:46 A I asked the office and they said it was because I got a letter from Japan saying my mom doesn't live here
09:46 A They said it was a third party price because she doesn't live here.
09:47 A I can't pay this amount of money ?

13:10 Y sorry. I'm at a conference.
13:11 Y I don't remember anymore. But I think it only said to send it to the Hawaii address.
13:13 Y I don't think I wrote anything about your mother not living in Hawaii or any such details. I think I wrote "please send to Hawaii.

14:03 A Got it. I'll ask the tax office for details. It's kind of weird that it suddenly doubled 🙂
14:03 A It's so expensive, it's ridiculous.

16:33 YYou know, I just talked to HI, and he said he doesn't think the taxes will double because of who lives there. Because there are many people like that in the world.
I was told to ask my accountant for more information, but my friend ( who has a property in Hawaii and lives there now ) told me ? that asking an accountant might not be enough. Maki-san said he will ask his friend.
16:33 Y I've never heard of taxes going up because people don't live there. Also, it's strange that I suddenly got a form to come to Japan for a few months. Anyway, I will let you know when I hear from my friend.

16:34 A I already talked to Mr. Hi. I'm talking to my lawyer now. It seems that taxes are different depending on who owns and lives in the house.

16:35 Y Let me know if you find out what the lawyer said.

16:35 A It's okay. We'll do it ourselves.

16:35 YOK

16:36 A I asked my lawyer and he said. The amount of taxes will change
16:37 Ay if we find out that mom doesn't live there

16:37 Y There is no proof that she doesn't live there, so if we say she comes and goes ?

16:37 A They already know something

16:37 Y If you checked legal immigration,
16:38 Y you would know, but other than that, you have no evidence.

16:38 A You don't look into one individual, so if they would know, someone would have said ?
16:40 A I would talk to a lawyer about what to do.

16:42 Y Just because someone said it doesn't prove it. But the fact is that they are lying, so you have to ask your lawyer to handle that. I hope the lawyer is a good one.

16:42 A It's not a lie. If it was a family member, they wouldn't think so. ?
16:43 A It's not like you're committing a crime.
16:45 A She said there's no way we're committing a crime for what we've done. We've paid for it, so what do you think


objectively about your mom's belongings ?
I think what my sister is saying is wrong.
In reality, the fact is that my mother does not live in that building, and I think she deserves it because she found out about it. I wonder if the taxes really double for those who live in Hawaii ?.

Recently, when I take my car to an authorized dealer

for regular maintenance,

I feel like I am being ripped off by the dealer.

Well, it is a big problem in Japan now, but

I still feel some resistance when I am told by Americans.

I also feel uncomfortable taking them to Latino and Korean factories in the suburbs of LA.

I know there are several Japanese repair shops around Torrance, but

do you have any recommendations?

There are a lot of information in magazines, etc. and I am quite worried.

If there are any reliable repair shops near LA, please exchange information.

As the title says, I am writing to find out the monthly membership fee for Anytime in Waikiki.

I heard that Hawaii is a popular place to work out, and besides Anytime, there are gyms used by Army and UFC

gyms for mixed martial arts.

Please let me know about their admission fees, monthly membership fees, reputation, and if you are actually a member.

Of course, you can tell me about other gyms than the above.

I am planning to go to Japan and have enough yen and dollars, but which is more economical, using the yen I have or exchanging dollars for yen ?
I think it is better to use dollars because of the weak yen, but there are fees involved.
If it is better to exchange money, I would also like to know the recommended exchange offices.

Recruiting at a higher hourly rate and actually paying less

In my recent job search, I see a lot of postings for hourly wages $ 17 to 20, etc.

In fact, when I go to interviews, the hourly rate is $ 11 or 12, and including Tip, it is usually $ 17 to more.
and so on, when you go to the interview.

but when you actually work there, the hourly rate is $ 15 or so including tips.

Is this different from what is stated in the job description? ?
Is there a problem if a higher hourly wage is indicated with tips, and the actual wage is lower than that? ?
Is there any problem like this in the restaurant industry where you work ??

先月、インプラントの手術をしましたが、その後、ねじ周りが感染を起こしてしまったらしく、痛みがひどい状態です。
レントゲンには、ねじ周辺に影が写っています。
しかし、歯科医は、それは感染ではないといいます。

依然として、痛みはおさまらないので、他の歯科医にセカンドオピニオンをもらいにいきました。そちらでは、「感染を起こしている。これでは、骨とくっつかない」と言われました。

歯科医がうその言い訳をして、インプラントのやり直し等に応じない場合、アメリカには、通報するような機関があるのでしょうか?
歯科医の失敗を責めるつもりはありませんが、善意ある対処をしてもらえないことに、憤慨しています。

特に、感染しているのは、他のスタッフたちも薄々気づいているほど、明らかな事実であるのに、自分の保身のためか、虚偽の説明を繰り返す歯科医の行為は、ライセンスに影響する行為だと考えます。

Real estate prices, starting to rise again ?.

I've been saving for a down payment for a few years to buy a house in Torrance or thereabouts.

Last year, real estate prices seemed to have leveled off a bit, so I was wondering if they would go down this year, but I've been looking at SOLD prices for the past few months and they seem to be higher than before.
And when they go on sale, they are PENDING a week later.
Maybe it will still go up?

Even if I hoard downpayments, the price goes up and I can't buy it after all~.
More and more I can only buy in remote areas ~ ( Tears ).

But needless to say, it is better for your credit to continue paying the original Mortgage without Loan Modification.

Currently, deferment of Mortgage, Property taxes, Credit card payments, etc. are all allowed, so please consult with your Lender or Credit Card company if you are having trouble.

Certainly those who bought before Corona were lucky, no one expected real estate prices to skyrocket so high in 2020.
However, there are still properties in the $300,000 range if you look for them, so I think young people can step up from suburban homes and small condos. As you know, unlike in Japan, it is normal to buy a new house every few years here.

I don't think it is possible because you have to explain to the Lender why you can no longer pay.
However, interest rates are in the 2% range now, so if you refinance, you could reduce your monthly payment significantly.

It is an unusual seller's market right now. The other day I found a nice property
4 days after it came on the market,
I contacted a realtor and submitted an offer, but 40 people had already
submitted offers and the price was $ 180,000 higher, so I stopped.

It's probably a balance between interest rates and supply and demand, but it will be like this for a while.
If it keeps going up, it looks like I should consider selling. Over the past year
prices have gone up roughly 5-9%.

There are many people who made money in stocks, people who made money in Corona, people who are now trying to make money in real estate investment
and many people are trying to buy.
