＞ I have a total of just under $5000 in income from private work I did last year.

I am a so called Independent Contractor and not a company employee.

＞ My employer obtained an EIN number for my tax return and issued it to me
I filed a tax return with the W2 I received

My employer has been trying to get the form to send to the IRS to take effect this year. Your employer filed an EIN
this year in order to activate the form to submit to the IRS.

＞ The EIN number came back rejected because it was issued after this year.

I think that means I don't have an EIN at the time of employment or contract, so
since I did not apply for an EIN number this year at the time of employment,
payment for this year's work will be for income in 2022, the IRS data will show 2021 I think that means it is not treated as
income for the year 2021.

＞ I don't know how to resolve this as there is nothing to correct.

＄ ， I got 5 000 last year, and I think the job （ is probably a Baby Sitter type job
but if it is a ） payment, I do not need an IRS form.
If you treat it as a sole proprietorship on Schedule C, there should be no problem.

＞ If it was rejected by electronic filing,
＞ you can send the print out to the IRS. I am not sure if this is correct or not.

Reject means that the form was not accepted because it is different from the IRS data, so
you can e-file the form again
without using the form （ or the EIN number ） on the form, and it will be accepted. again and it will be accepted.
I think it is better not to file by Paper
because it will complicate matters.

However, since we do not know the actual contents of the form （ W － 2 ） etc., we cannot guarantee
that the above is correct. If you need to
check the contents of this message urgently, please send an e-mail to
the e-mail address in the message.

If you are filing as a sole proprietorship, you will be paid and will be penalized
after April 18.

Look closely at the W-2 form.　Box a is the SS number.　You cannot put an EIN here. So, the W-2 itself is wrong.

I think you put EIN in Schedule C of tax return, but Schedule C has 1099 as income and W-2 cannot be adjusted.　

You should ask the person who issued the W-2 to correct the W-2, （ cancel ） and issue a 1099-NEC with the SS number, or report it as Other Income on Schedule C without a 1099.　 （ In that case, do not put the EIN on Schedule C ）.

#76 Tax Return Today 16:34
Tax man,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. You are absolutely right, I was just reporting my income from babysitting last year. My employer was very considerate and requested that I file a W-2 instead of a 1099, but due to the date I got my EIN, I am now in the situation I am in now. I would like to switch to Schedule C and file again, but I am worried that it will cause problems for my employer who has already completed the tax return.

Recently, I feel that the atmosphere of BibiNavi has lost its old atmosphere of a place where Japanese people who are trying their best to help each other in the U.S. and there are many slanderous comments. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you very much.

If it's a W2, they should have done it with a SSN from the beginning, so I don't understand why the EIN comes up.

You said you first came to the US by boat ？
I think if you get off the plane and follow everyone else, you'll get out naturally.

As far as I know,

you go to the immigration line and get in the US Citizen and Legal Alien line,

when your number comes up you go to the kiosk terminal and have your Japanese passport and green card image

and your picture taken. and your picture, take the slip with your picture from the terminal

to the inspector and give him the three items, he will say "Wellcome Back to the United States"

return your passport and G-card, and that should be it.


I don't know if anything has changed since Corona.

I entered the US with a green card last December.

It was the same procedure as usual as you mentioned, Double Kin Man.

I think it is best to send money from my Japanese account to my Hawaii account with Wise ！
The procedure is easy and it does not take long to send money.
I think it is the most economical when comparing exchange rates and fees.

Good evening. Thank you very much for your reply.
To take advantage of the weak yen against the strong dollar, would it be possible to transfer US dollars from my US account to my
Japanese yen account ？
If you have experienced this, it would be very helpful if you could let me know.
Please let me know.

I understand that you have your own account in Japan, which means that you are transferring dollars from your US account to Japan. If your Japanese account is a Yen account （ and this is normal ）, then the first step is to buy Yen at a US bank and send the Yen to Japan. However, if you have a dollar account in Japan, you can send the money in dollars, so you are not affected by the exchange rate, just the Wire Transfer fee. My US bank is Citibank, but the dollar-Yen exchange rate is very bad ＞ （ plus a few % commission ）, so I open a dollar account with a Japanese bank （ Mitsubishi UFJ ） and send the money in dollars. That way, Citibank charges only $ 35 and there is no fee on the Japanese side. When I withdraw in Yen from my dollar deposit account, I only have to pay a 0.25 yen fee, based on the TTB rate of that day. I find this method to be the most advantageous in terms of exchange fees. I have not used Wise, but from checking their site, it appears that you can exchange at a rate similar to my method. However, as you probably know, any transfer of more than $10,000 between Japan and the U.S. will be reported to the tax authorities (IRS and IRS ）) in both countries, so you will need to have documentary evidence （ showing that the transfer is necessary and not illegal ） in both countries in case of an investigation at a later date. In case of an investigation at a later date, both Japan and the U.S. must prepare the necessary documents to prove that the money transfer is necessary and not illegal. In particular, if the recipient in Japan is not the person himself/herself, documents （ showing that the money is not subject to Gift Tax ）, such as the purchase price of goods or services, are also required.

Thanks for the reply.
It will be less than $9000. The bank I used when I lived in Japan does not handle dollars
I checked the website of Mitsubishi UFJ Direct. Were you able to open an account from US ？ or did you do it when you lived in Japan ？
I thought it would be safer to use online banking than to bring several thousand dollars in cash to Japan.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me. Please do.

1, It has been another week since my beloved father disappeared.
2, He lives alone and has health problems.
3, I am afraid of losing my father.

1 and 3 are described as father
2 is described as him

Why only 2 is him?
I guess it still has to be father here too.
