I am a Fort Lee resident. I found out once before that a person from Korea used my address without my permission and later used my address without my permission to receive welfare benefits. I refrained from contacting the police or the welfare office because it is not a big town like New York. I just asked the person to stop using my address, and when my child cried because of the harassment, the police were called.
I have been absolutely careful since then, but now I have a very unpleasant experience with a mom friend of mine who was involved with my kids and we had a mutual friend who I had no choice but to hang out with at first, so please hear me out. Let's say her name is J. Our condo has amenities where people can get together, have barbecues, pools, etc., but J came over under the guise of a playdate for the kids. J came over on the pretext of having a play date with her kids, and since I couldn't open the door to this area without a digital key, I lent her the key. A few hours later, J had successfully lost the key and I was nearly in tears. Later that night I received a text message from him saying that he was sorry because his child had accidentally put the key in his pocket. I was relieved and got the key back a few days later, but for some reason the nagging bad feeling never went away.
On Memorial Day, this mutual friend of ours asked us to have a BBQ at our condo, so we did our best to prepare a BBQ for the kids' friends who were coming. Of course, J came too, and the kids returned first, leaving her alone. I was busy cleaning up and taking care of the kids when J asked me for the key again. 20 or 30 minutes later he didn't come back, which I thought was strange, but nothing happened and the day was over. A few days later I was going to the DMV and needed to bring my ID, so I was going to bring my passport and my green card, which I always keep with me, when I noticed that it was missing along with my credit card. I was going to take my passport and my green card, which I always keep with me, when I noticed that they were missing along with my credit card. I also thought that I should be very careful because I am the mother of a child's classmate. However, I later learned from another Korean mother that she was an illegal immigrant. I did some googling and found out that the indentityft consisting of illegal immigrants of Korean descent is a big problem. I am by no means anti-Korean or racist. But I would like to make sure that Japanese people like me who don't know such things in the US should be aware of it. Of course I have seen many fine Koreans. But unfortunately, there are many criminals among them. And their ways are very devious and egregious. It is easy to be easy to forgive them because they are Asian, but please keep in mind that their senses are basically completely different from Japanese people. And please do not invite people you do not know well to your house or premises.

As a postscript, Japanese people are generally thought of as stupid and good-natured, and Korean criminals think that committing crimes against Japanese people is a rather natural punishment for them. They approach us pretending to be nice, and the worst part is that they are always neat and clean, drive nice cars, and you would never know that they are criminals by their appearance. They are always waiting for you to bring them food or to be your off guard, so be really careful.

I put them in organic bags that I buy myself for a week and throw them in the green waste can on the day of garbage collection.

When we followed the directions, it smelled bad and had maggots in it. We have been tying the garbage bags tightly shut before throwing them out, and we only put lawn clippings and weeds from gardening in the green area, boxes, cans, bottles and PET bottles in the recycle area, and all food scraps and regular garbage in the trash area. I put all food scraps and regular garbage in garbage bags and throw them away in the trash.

I know that you cannot open a Japanese account when you live abroad, but ① it is not illegal to keep the account you opened when you lived in Japan after moving abroad, right?
However, ② if you leave it for about 5 years, it will be frozen, although the period varies depending on the bank. Is that considered as being used if there is a wire transfer and not frozen ??

I have lived abroad for a long time, but I also maintain a Japanese account and credit card.
I am able to do this because my permanent address is my parents' address, but before Corona, I used to return to Japan once or twice a year, so I deposited money into my account each time & I did passbook entries, etc.

Since a few years ago, I have registered a Japanese credit card for automatic debit since e-books cannot be purchased with credit cards issued abroad. Since I was unable to return to Japan until last month due to the Corona disaster, I had to inquire about my balance online several times a year.
Since my balance was getting low and I did not know when I would be able to return to Japan, I started to send money to my Japanese account in WISE, but I still make sure that the balance is less than 1 million yen to avoid taxes.

Many people who live overseas but have parents or siblings in Japan maintain a Japanese bank account.

#10 I was slightly concerned about the expression "to avoid taxation". Basically, there is no taxation on the transfer itself between the individual's accounts in Japan and the US.
However, when there is a remittance / of 1 million yen or more at a Japanese bank, a copy of the transaction is automatically sent to the tax office. Also, when a U.S. bank receives a remittance of $10,000 or more /, a report is automatically sent to the IRS. Especially in Japan, remittances to non-permanent residents are required to be reported on the individual's tax return, so that the IRS can check the information with the tax office. If the frequency of remittance is too frequent, the tax office may conduct an investigation under the title of "Inquiry concerning foreign assets.
In addition, if you have financial assets ( or accounts ) outside the U.S. of $10,000 or more, you are required to report them on Form 1040, and you are also required to report the account information on FinCen114.
The above is to prevent Money Laundering, as explained by tax man, and as long as the information required by the IRS is reported correctly, it does not matter if the account balance is over $10,000.

I would like to ask about taxes on the sale of stock.

In the U.S.A. / Is there a profit and loss taxation system in Hawaii ?
If there is, it seems that in Japan you can carry it forward for 3 years from the next year, but in the U.S.A. / How many years in Hawaii ?

Do you know? If anyone knows, I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

You can lose up to $3 , 000 in stocks for
years until you recoup your losses.

This is for the entire US, not just Hawaii.

Furthermore, it appears from your question itself that you have no
experience with tax returns in the US, so there are other rules and regulations, so

you cannot handle your tax return with the knowledge from the board, so
be sure to file your tax return. If you are going to file a tax return, we recommend you to ask a professional to do it for you.

Please refer to the following English explanation and translation.

How many years can you claim stock losses?
You'll always have the annual $ 3,000 limit on ordinary income deductions, but the losses can be as much as $3,000 per year.
( What years can I claim losses on stock?
How many years can I carry forward capital losses ? I can carry forward capital losses for as many years as I need until I can use the capital losses for tax purposes.
There is always a $3,000 annual limit on the ordinary income deduction, but losses may offset future capital gains. }

Normally, I only sell stocks that I have made a profit on, but this time I wanted to liquidate individual stocks other than Roth IRAs and asked my CPA if I could offset the capital loss.

Hello.
I am going on a trip to Hawaii next week for 2 weeks, but I have a corona infection and was in home quarantine until yesterday.
I had an antigen test done this morning and it was negative, but I heard that PCR tests can be positive for several weeks after infection.

I will return to Japan one month after my corona infection, but I am worried about the PCR test before returning to Japan.
I understand that I can get a consular letter if I still test positive after a complete recovery, but do you know what is required or when I should apply to the consulate?
Can I just get a medical care certificate or something like that from the municipal health center? (It shows the date of corona infection.)
I couldn't find out anything about it, so I asked here. Thank you in advance for your help.

Now it is omicron, so there is almost no PCR test positive after one month, but many people who are infected once are infected twice.

First, a consular letter,
which is valid if you are still positive 2 weeks after infection.

If the PCR test is positive 72 hours before returning
you will be quarantined in a hotel for 5 days.
If the PCR test is taken again and is negative, you may return home.
If positive, you will be quarantined for another 4 days.

If the PCR test is positive after 9 days.
You can apply for a consular letter here.

When you test positive for the first time
Call the doctor for a consultation and consultation.
After 9 days, you will receive a letter from the doctor certifying your recovery
Submit the proof of positivity and recovery to the consulate

.

These are the circumstances when a friend and his wife came to Hawaii two weeks ago
only the wife tested positive and was unable to return home.
