Soapy water works well to repel insects. I try to use soap with as few additives ( fragrances, etc. ) as possible.

1. Choose a clean spray bottle or sprayer for your mixture.
2. Mix 1 tablespoon of soap per quart of water, or 4 to 5 tablespoons of soap Make sure to evenly coat infected plants, from top to bottom, for best results. The soap-spray has to come in contact with the insects for it to work.

Which airline do you all buy your tickets to Japan from ? I checked with the Japanese airlines, but Expedia is more than $300 cheaper. ( Ticket changes are not allowed )
But since I have only ever purchased from Japanese airlines, I am worried about problems and reliability. 
But nowadays, all tickets are e-tickets and payment is made by credit card and online, so I wonder if the credibility is the same
.

You should check the terms and conditions as Expedia, Orbitz, etc. may have rates that say 1 piece ( 50lb ) free checked baggage and $ 200 / additional baggage cost.

I also use Expedia to purchase airline tickets all the time.
A while ago, I had to cancel a domestic trip due to a family member's sudden illness.
I was able to use the chat function to process the cancellation and everything else without having to call customer service.
Although it was a chat function, the person who responded to me was also very nice.

I've never seen expiration dates on vegetables. There's no way they label each and every potato or onion with an expiration date. What are you talking about? ?

Are you talking about the eggplants and cucumbers in plastic containers that are wrapped and sold? ?

Basically, the decision should be made according to the US immigration rules.
The easiest way to check is to call an immigration lawyer and ask this question
which I think can be easily solved.

Basically, the following English explanation will help you understand.

You can't drive for Uber as F1 student visa doesn't bring you work authorization. Moreover,
F1 students don't automatically qualify
{ Translation :
F1 student visa does not bring you work authorization.
Additionally, F1 students do not automatically qualify for an SSN, which is one of the essential requirements to drive for Uber. }


Since immigration law exists in the U.S. before labor law,
the question of whether an alien without a social security number can work in the U.S. should
be checked with an immigration law specialist.

You basically cannot work on an F1 visa. You can work up to 20 hours per week on campus, but you cannot work off-campus as long as you are on an F1 visa, even if you have an SNS.

Wage inflation is Wage inflation.
Wage inflation is not stopping because there is labor shortage everywhere.
Even if you raise wages and recruit, you can't attract people.
Wage inflation is most pernicious because once it goes up, it can no longer go down.
Chairman Powell has said he will not turn to cutting interest rates until this rise is stopped.

For Federal, about the new W-4 form

  • コンニャク

The W-4 form for Federal was changed from 2022, and the way to fill it out was changed.
There is no place to fill in numbers
I don't know anything about it
I submitted the form without filling it in.
I thought it was strange because the amount was too much, so I checked the statement and found that only a few tens of dollars of federal tax had been deducted.
I am prepared to pay a lot of money in tax returns, but

I read the IRS website, but it is difficult to understand!
Can someone please explain it to me clearly ?

What do I have to do to make the change?
This would be helpful for new job seekers.

Please help us.

The following answers your questions regarding filling out the W-4.

Basically, if you are single or married filing jointly,
simply select Single or Married Filing Joint in Step 1 of the W-4 and
sign Step 5.

Step 2 is for those who have multiple jobs or whose wife also works for a company
and
Step 3 is for those who have children.

The problem is with Step 4, especially in the case of this question,
( I think the Extra withholding section of C ) needs to be filled out.

As to your question, "Federal tax was only deducted by a few tens of dollars."
So, if you have to pay it every time you make a tax return,
you need to ask the company's accounting department in advance
to add the same Federal Tax each time you make a tax return.
For this purpose, you can specify
the amount of tax to be paid each time in the ( C ) Extra withholding field in Step 4.

Here is an example.

First, look at the 2021 1040 form.

The total tax amount is shown in column 24.
The amount of tax collected from the W-2 is shown in column A of number 25.

Suppose

the amount in #24 is $ 2 , 600 . 00.
And let's say the total amount of W-2 in #25 is $ 1 , 300 . 00

In the declaration, $ 1 , 300 . 00 ( = $ 2 , 600 . 00- $ 1 , 300 . 00 )
payment.

To avoid this, you can enter $ 50 . 00 in Step C of W-4 and specify to pay
additional $ 50 . 00 from each Paycheck,
additional $ 1 , 300 . 00 ( = $ 50 . 00X 26 weeks ), resulting in total income tax payments of
$ 2 , 600 . 00 = $ 1 , 300 . 00 + $ 1 , 300 . 00 ( $ 50 . 00X 26 weeks )
and the total amount of total tax you owe becomes $ 2 , 600 . 00

Of course, increasing this amount will result in a refund, and you will get
money back on your tax return each time.

You should explain this to your accountant
when you calculate and submit the amount on this W-4.

Please understand and follow the above regarding the processing of W-4s.

I have a client who has very little income tax deducted from his paycheck.

He has a total of 4 - 5 W-2s, and each W-2 has no income tax deducted because he works very few hours at each company ( mainly restaurants )
.
However, the total amount of W-2 ( 4 - 5 ) is quite large, so when the total is reported on the tax return
, the total amount will come out and income tax will be paid, and

the wife is a W-2 who works for a company. The wife works for a company and is a W-2, but her husband is a free agent and pays income tax on his tax return
and the wife's refund goes to pay the husband's income tax, so she has to pay each time
.
I advised her last year to change her W-4 status to Single instead of Married Filing Joint.

In this case, if you want to avoid paying tax return
, I think the only way is to ask your accountant
to withhold a fixed amount of income tax from your paycheck, starting from a certain dollar amount each time.
