How much do you tip when you get takeout ?
Some people say it's not necessary, but in some places it's already included.

When you go to pick up a pizza or something that is essentially a delivery place, I feel like you should tip less because it's not delivery, what do you do ??

If you are still receiving unemployment insurance, it appears that PEUC is automatically extended even if your balance is $ 0. If you are past the entitlement period, you will need to reapply.

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.

If it was before the Corona Disaster, I have sent entire suitcases from this post office to Japan several times. It is certainly the cheapest.
However, I don't know if they accept it now. Other places are expensive.
If you are going to leave the island,
I recommend you to reduce the amount of luggage and return home.

If it were me, I would pay extra to put it on the plane in checked luggage.
Hawaiian charges $ 150 for the third suitcase and up.
I don't know how much it costs to send a standard delivery service, but I don't think $ 150 is enough for one suitcase.

They also sell cardboard boxes for $10 a box if you need them.

I also found a service at Bibi Navi where you can store your belongings, but I thought it would be cheaper to sell them if I had to pay $50/month to store them, and buy them at that time if I ever come back to Hawaii to live.

I'm sorry I didn't answer your question about how to send the package, but when I heard that you are going back home, I felt sad, and I wanted to say something to you !. I'm not in a very good situation either, but I'm going to stay here for a little while longer. I have a dog, you know. Once I'm in a position to return home, that would be a good option. If Hawaii is in good condition, please come back. We are all waiting for you.

I think all of your luggage is important, but if you do your best to get rid of it, you will be able to move around more easily.

I renewed at Kapalama last month.
The expiration date was the end of March and Aloha Q was only available in May, so I went there in the morning to see if I could get on the waiting list.
There was no announcement at the entrance that there was a waiting list, so I was about to leave when I was told by the man at the parking lot ( that there had been a charge for parking ・ ・ ・ ) that there was a waiting list and that I should sit at the front of the stone bench in front of the entrance. I waited there, and a little before 8:00 OPEN, an attendant came out, wrote my name on the waiting list, and I was able to renew my reservation successfully.
It seems that about a third of the people who book don't actually show up, so I waited out front and was able to wait on the waiting list.
I don't know about other DMVs, but you can go there in the morning to try it out.

I went to Kapolei last week to renew my license.
I was also worried because the first appointment I could get was a month and a half after my license was due, so I was checking the AlohaQ website and found an appointment available for Kapolei the next day, so I took it.
The staff at the license office told me that Kapolei would put the next day's reservation on AlohaQ between 3 and 6 pm when it was available, so I happened to be lucky enough to see it at that time.

There is no problem renewing your license when it expires, but if you want to renew quickly and Kapolei is good for you, try them.

Hi

I used to buy water and say.
I leased from Alps Water about 5 years ago and the price is affordable $ 25 - $ 26.
The system is the same as Fuji Water's system, and the company uses Fuji Water, but they often come there for repairs. I secretly wish we could use Alps.

I thought leasing would be expensive, but considering the time and effort of going to buy water every time, I think it is cheap. I can use clean water to wash vegetables and rice, wash my face, and brush my teeth without worry.

Alps Water uses RO filters, but it costs more than $200 to replace each filter element, and I think the monthly cost is reasonable if you include regular maintenance.

We also use tap water to sharpen rice, but the water we store at the end is of course filtered water. Coffee and other beverages are also filtered water. The taste of Japanese tea, in particular, is very low and delicate compared to other drinks, so if we use tap water as it is, it smells bad and is undrinkable.

I also have not been approved for PEUC13 week since December
OVER due to system error in UI I have e-mailed and emailed the Governor, but no progress, so I waited until today.
However, the benefit year end is coming up next month, so I called today.

The call center person sounded very tired.
I was so angry that I had to wait for 3 months because of a system error. I had heard that there were many people in more trouble than me, so I had been waiting for 3 months to hear from you,
I started the conversation in a modest way.
They listen very kindly.

I asked for the other person's name at the end, in case it might be useful later on if something happened.

I hope Oneone can get this resolved soon.

Cookie,

Just to be clear. As I wrote in #825, don't just wait for the letter, you may get a phone call as well. Try taking all phone numbers that you don't remember. I think it is always a good idea to set up an answering machine as well. If there is no response, you will be put off.

Sunset, it has been a while. Thank you for writing to us. I am also waiting for your call. I always take the ones with the Hawaii area code, even on the islands. I also take the ones with the mainland area code because I am also anxious. Both are commercial. Most of what I see on this topic is still above the clouds for me, such as pending and PEUC11, so I'm thinking of starting a topic in the near future so that those of us who are waiting on overpayments can exchange ideas.
