The Kinoshita Group allows online reservations 5 days before the inspection date, so why don't you make an appointment ？
As far as I can see from my own My Page of the Kinoshita Group, it is still possible to make an appointment now, so I don't think it will be a problem. I am a little worried if I can take the same-day inspection without an appointment.

Of course I will make an appointment 5 days in advance because it is by appointment only, but I was worried 💦
When you can make an appointment, it means you are OK ！ Thank you.
If I can't make an appointment, I will find another way then.

It depends on how important you think the information in the device is. If the information is not very important, you can usually just put it out with the trash. It is unlikely that others will see it. Also, the following URL may be helpful.

Understood.

FYI, I have been a tax attorney in Los Angeles for over 20 years.


I have been asked to handle
tax returns for Hawaii residents who have seen this topic, and I handle
two － three such returns each year.

We apologize if we have offended you, but we would again
recommend that you do not ask these questions on the board, but instead ask your usual experts to
handle these matters.

Quick story.

Topix really has zero deciphering and comprehension skills.
I laughed and said, "He's so stupid!

He is a Citizen, but he has no English skills either, to the point of embarrassment.

His character is also rotten, which is the real reason he came to the board after being rejected by all the tax accountants, ostensibly because he was "busy.

In the pandemic, originally, crazy people are getting crazier and crazier, and Topix is one of them. We thank Tax Man for that.

Good morning

Tax man, I was wondering if that is true since you mentioned your experience in your story. One thing I was wondering is if it is true that if you have more than $10,000 in a Japanese bank, you have to declare it there as well ？.

tax man,
I don't need to explain any more to Topix.

Since you commented that you are consulting a tax accountant, it is better to pay him properly and gather the information yourself. tax man's time is wasted.

Please
refer to the following answers to your questions regarding web shopping sites.

Basically, the standard amount for a 1099 － K to take effect is ＄ 20 ， 000 ． 00 or more.
Please see the attached IRS explanation below.

The IRS requires each payment settlement entity to send you a Form 1099-K by January 31 if it has processed at least $ 20,000 worth of But you still could receive 1099-Ks from some PSEs even when the form isn't

In addition, ＄ 600 is the base amount for a 1099 － NEC to take effect.
See below.
If your business paid a contractor more than $ 600 in a tax year, you're required to file Form 1099-NEC.
However, if the independent However, if the independent contractor is registered as a C corporation or S corporation, a 1099-NEC will not be required.

If you are a web-based seller, you will need to report your sales and costs, as well as the expnses related to the operation of your site

when you file your taxes. Please use Excel or accounting software to manage your revenues and costs
.

For Etsy, you can log in to the site and download
a summary of your sales.

1099 － The K form is an IRS form that you use to report
your sales to the IRS for filing
.
If the actual sales amount and the reported amount match, there is no problem.

An internet site operator who, without knowing it, had not
reported any web sales, received a letter from the IRS requiring him to file a return and last year
asked him to prepare tax returns for the past three years. I had to pay a substantial late （ fine ）

Hello.

For online buying and selling on Etsy, eBay, etc., $ 1099-K was issued for 20000+ sales or 200+ sales until last year, but this year it has changed to $ 600+ sales (without sales frequency setting), a much lower amount

I wasn't sure if I should post a direct link, so the following is an excerpt from eBay.

[Changes to the IRS minimum reporting threshold in 2022]
The IRS is lowering the Form 1099-K reporting threshold. January 1, 2022, IRS regulations require all businesses that process payments, including online marketplaces like eBay, to issue a Form 1099-K to sellers who receive $ If you receive more than $ 600 in gross payouts over the course of the 2022 calendar year, If you receive more than 600 in gross payouts over the course of the 2022 calendar year, we'll provide a Form 1099-K to you by January 31, 2023. Your 2021 tax obligations aren't affected by this change.

＞ For online sales on Etsy, eBay, etc., up until last year $ a 1099-K was issued for over 20000 sales or 200 sales
＞ but starting this year $ over 600 sales (no sales frequency setting) ＞ and the amount has been changed to a much lower amount.

Again, back to the basic question on this topic.
＞ If a 1099 is not issued, when I ask Accounting Service for a Tax return, do I just tell them the sales
＞ amount and expenses, etc.?

The fact that the 1099 － K form is effective has nothing to do with your basic question about the tax return
issue.

1099 － There is no requirement to file a tax return because the K is effective or
not effective.

Etsy sales of ＄ 6000 have nothing to do with whether the form was
effective or not.

Whether you have ＄ or not, your income return is still
6000, so anyway, the basic principle is that there should be no
difference between the amount of the tax return and the fact that the form was effective. Please understand.

The return is filed on a 1040 Schedule C. The software asks
did you receive a 1099 － K ？ and if you answer
that you did not receive a 1099 then it will say you received a cash or check payment . Did you receive payment by cash or check ？
?

Basically, the basic
question is how you received the income, and whether you received it on a 1099 － K or in cash makes no difference to your return or
the amount paid. I hope all
filers understand that it is not whether the form is in effect or not
but how much income you received as income that is the basis of your return.

Dear tax man
Thank you for your detailed and clear explanation.
I am relieved to hear that there is no problem as long as the actual sales amount and the declared amount match.
I understand that there was a case where I had to pay a considerable penalty for forgetting to file a tax return. In my case, the amount of sales is small, but I would like to continue to sell my products this year, so I will file my tax return so that there will be no mistake.
Thank you very much.

Mr. shell
Hello.
Thank you for the information ！
I understand that a 1099 － K will be issued for sales this year over ＄ 600 when filing next year.
＄ 20000 to ＄ 600 is quite a change.

I was curious so I looked into it.
At this stage, Japan － Hawaii flights are not affected by Safe Travels Hawai'i and
follow US federal rules.
https://hawaiicovid19.com/travel/faqs/

The US CDC website states that booster shots are not a requirement.
"A booster dose is not needed to meet this requirement."
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/noncitizens-US-air-travel.html

In the news here dated 1/19, the Hawaii state government has said that for at least 2 weeks the 3rd week, they say they will not mandate a third intake.
So far, I have not seen any news of a third dose being mandated.
Even if the State of Hawaii mandated the vaccination, it would not be a problem if Safe Travels Hawai'i did not apply to international flights. On the other hand, if the US government changes its standards, I don't think that would be the case.

The one that comes to mind quickly is an authorized dealer repair shop.
While servicing is reliable, I have the impression that the price is higher than a mechanic shop
（ I've never actually fixed an air conditioner ）

I checked and Lex Brodie's, a mechanic shop, does air conditioning repairs.
https://www.lexbrodies.com/ac-repair

I think there are other maintenance shops that can help.

I think you can get several estimates
in terms of service quality, price, convenience （ proximity, repair time, etc.） I think you can also get several estimates.

The price varies considerably from place to place. It also depends on whether the problem is just gas or not. There is a store on Kapi'olani Street just behind the McHenry Car Wash that fixes car air conditioners. I think they will see if it is a gas problem right away for a small fee on the spot. I forget the name of the store, but they have a sign.

I'm returning in December and I'll be at Haneda Airport.
I was told that my luggage is OK if my family comes to the airport and can give it to me right away at the gate too.
But I don't know how long it will take to get the results of the inspection, so I will have to wait.
I was told that home delivery is not allowed.
We called Haneda Airport to confirm beforehand.

In my case, I had a form for home delivery and had already filled it out, so I negotiated with the staff （ and the part-time worker ）.
He said no, but I told him it was not on the website.
I told him that it was not written on the website. He said that if a group of about 10 people got together, they would move to another place and we could do it at that time ？ I told him that I had already written the form
I kept saying that I would not make him wait and finally he said yes.

I followed him to the delivery place. （ I thought he was going to run away ？ ）
He said some hotels can deliver, but I don't know where.
In my case, there was no home delivery at the tax university dormitory in Wako.

Everyone had a hard time moving around with large luggage.
I only had a small suitcase for carry-on luggage, so it was easy to move around.
For your information.

As someone above mentioned, I have been using Raringol by Sato Pharmaceuticals for years now.
It has helped me because there are very few gargles in the US. Nijya's and Marukai also have it.
I think the spray is for sore throats
and the liquid is for daily gargling
I use the gargle one.
