I am planning to expatriate to LA this year.
My wife ・ will be accompanying my children (3rd grade elementary school students), but I am concerned about their education and whether my wife will be able to adjust to the local environment.

・ Education while in Japan ・ Sharing concerns about childcare and effective ways to resolve them
・ Introducing communities for childcare

etc. This topic is for people who are in the same situation and can talk freely. We are looking forward to your comments and suggestions.

Since there are many Japanese people in LA as a whole, not only expatriates, it is easy to find a community （ and friends ） through BibiNavi, which lists many Japanese-affiliated schools.
In some areas, there are many Japanese children in the local schools, so you can find many Japanese mothers and friends. ！
Depending on the school district, there are many students from various backgrounds, not only Japanese, so the schools also offer various support services such as ESL.

Hello. I understand your feelings very much.
I was gathering information by actively exchanging contact information with Japanese people I met.
I would like to know if there are any parenting communities … I have the impression that everyone seems to have their own groups （ at work, elementary school, apartment, or in their own lessons ） but I am not aware of any large communities.

However, we would like to get some information before coming to the US. If you write specific questions or concerns, such as "My workplace is going to be in this area, but in this neighborhood, which elementary school district is best to live in ？ etc., a kind person may reply to you, as you have replied in ↑.
(Although it might be easier for everyone to answer if you direct … to the email address or something. )

I was told I need a 1095-A for my tax return. I was insured with Covered California, but since the other day I have not been able to sign in to the Covered California site and have not been able to get the 1095-A … Is there any other way to get it besides getting Covered California ？ on my tax return? Please let me know if anyone has used a 1095-A ！ ！

If you go there with the documents you have on hand now. If you can prepare this and that, bring them. You will be told.

Accounting firms are in season now and can't spend time with clients who don't have their paperwork in order.

You don't have the paperwork in order, that's why Topix is asking the question, but you can't even take the time to take it to the accounting firm to a client who doesn't have the paperwork in order ？.

Hawaii Estimated Tax

Question

I file my own tax return every year using Turbo Tax.
I have already filed for 2023.
The federal Estimated Tax payment amount is automatically calculated and there is a payment voucher, but
the State of Hawaii has you enter the amount yourself and I wasn't sure so I skipped it.
I use Hawaii Tax Online to pay my Hawaii Income Tax, but
If I want to pay my 2024 Estimated Tax, can I decide the amount and pay it myself on Hawaii Tax Online ？ Or, since I did not set the amount of Estimated Tax for 2024 when I filed the 2023 tax return, can I pay the amount of Estimated Tax for 2024?
Thank you very much.

You can decide the amount and pay it yourself.
If possible, we recommend that you divide your 2023 tax amount into four installments and pay them in four installments. If you have paid at least 100% of the previous year's tax amount on a scheduled basis, you will not be penalized even if your 2024 tax amount is higher.

Harassment in the Workplace

When I submitted a Formal Complaint for harassment at work, the treatment got worse.
They made a PIP^(Performance Improvement Plan ） and they listed all kinds of unreasonable things.
One of them is that I used to wait at work for an hour or two after work until the traffic calmed down before leaving, but now I'm being told to leave as soon as I finish work. I'm not applying for overtime pay, and if I have any work left to do, I just do it while I'm waiting. I understand that HR is the enemy.
What is the best place to get help with retaliation at work ？?

Not good. Showa-era Ototto lamented that everyone was not making enough effort to understand his opinions. I am really sorry. It seems that the only way to eliminate misunderstandings is to directly ask Ototsan himself. The fairest way is to give Ototsan himself a chance to explain himself. It is worthwhile to continue the exchange as if it were an exchange square.

If you are paid in venmo, you can keep the money in your venmo wallet without transferring it to the bank, and you can then venmo the money to your friends, payers, etc. If you are paid and do not transfer the money to the bank, the venmo money will increase. If you are paid and do not transfer the money to the bank, the venmo money will increase as it is.

I am a student studying abroad in Hawaii. I am currently looking for a car. I am learning late at night and if I am lucky, someone I know will give me a ride, but it is difficult to ask every time, and I really need one.

I am looking on Facebook market and craigslist, but they sell quickly and my lack of knowledge makes it impossible to make my own decisions about engines and oil. I have been looking on Vivinavi, but I have not been able to find a good car.
I am a student, so I cannot buy a new car.
I am looking for a Japanese car (Toyota Corolla, Nissan Versa, etc. ）) in 2015 or older. My budget is around $8000.

If you are going back to Japan soon or want to let go of your car to buy a new one, please contact me.
Thank you very much.

I live in Hawaii. It seems that the used car rate is increasing due to the rising prices. I just appraised my car to try and find a Japanese sedan older than 2014 with low mileage and anti-theft protection.
It was $2000 more than when I appraised it a few years ago ！
There is $8000 even before 2015.

A little older, but a non-Nissan Japanese car will seldom break down.
I wish you the best of luck.

I am divorced from my American husband after 10+ years of marriage. I am a citizen.
My ex-husband is now old enough to receive a pension, and I have heard that if you divorce after 10 years, you can receive half of your ex-husband's pension amount.
I wonder if I can still receive the pension ？
if anyone knows anything about this.

Social Security Administrationのウェブサイトに以下のように記されています。

Benefits For Your Spouse
Even if they have never worked under Social Security, your spouse may be eligible for benefits if they are at least 62 years of age and you are receiving retirement or disability benefits. Your spouse can also qualify for Medicare at age 65.

As you say, if you were married for more than 10 years, you are entitled to half of your ex-husband's pension amount. It should not matter whether you were working or not. See the article "Post-Divorce Security" below.
https://happymoneyusa.com/all-about-social-security/
The conditions are
1 ． You must be at least 62 years old and single.
2 ． If you apply for benefits before the age of full benefits, they are reduced by that amount.
Therefore, we recommend that you visit the SS Office, explain your divorce situation, obtain the necessary application documents and other information, and begin the process.

My American husband and I divorced after 10 years ± and I received half of his pension at age 66 and switched to my own pension at age 70 because I was working myself. That way I get 25% more. No matter how many times the ex-husbands get married, if they are married for more than 10 years, each
ex-wife receives half of the pension. I recommend you to search Yu tubu on US pensions to get more information.
