I have a question

If anyone knows, please help me.

If I bring a negative certificate ( within 3 days ) at a designated hospital in Hawaii, am I exempt from self-isolation after arriving in Hawaii ??

Income tax return for 2020

Aloha !
I completed the process for my 2020 income tax return with my CPA this March. I paid a total of about $ 5,000 to State, Federal. My question is, is it true that I heard that I can get the tax back depending on the amount of unemployment insurance I receive ? Of course, the CPA also included a deduction of $ 10,200. Thank you in advance.
Mahalo.

How do you store flour, pasta, etc. at home? ?

Today I looked at the flour I had stored and found many small insects walking around the flour bag.
It is a common type of American flour in paper bags.
I kept it in the paper bag in a slide type ziplock because I didn't want the bugs to get into it if I kept it that way.

Did they get in through the gap in the slide or were there eggs in the flour to begin with?
It is a fairly small grayish-beige colored bug that you see in old books and wooden shelves.
They are really creepy.

Creating a State ID

I would like to ask those of you who have been issued a State ID.
I know you need two proofs of address, but
which documents did you bring with you ?
since I have just arrived in Hawaii,
I have a bank certificate, but
I have no other proof of address such as utility bill payment. … I don't have any other proof of address, such as proof of payment of utility bills
. I would like to know if there are any documents that can prove
that you live in the area, even if you have not lived here for a long time.

Also, since I don't have a Social Security Number,
I plan to get a denial letter, but
I heard a rumor that this document itself can be used as proof of address,
I would like to know if anyone has actually been successful with this. I would like to know if anyone has actually succeeded in doing so.

Thank you very much.

Job search spam ?.

I am currently job searching and
when I use indeed, I get a lot of emails from employers to whom I have not sent my resume.
The employer wants to make the offer official, but
I hesitate to respond because it might be
a scam to reply to a company I don't understand who has not submitted their resume at all.
However, I am afraid that by ignoring the one-sided offer, I will be considered to have turned down the offer and
my unemployment insurance benefits will be suspended.

So my question is, how is a unilateral offer from an employer treated ?
Please let me know.

Tax Return

As I do every year, I called my accountant in March to make an appointment to apply for a tax return just in time for April this year, and he said that although there were no appointments available at the moment, it was okay because the appointment had been postponed until May 17 this year due to the pandemic, so I made an appointment in early May and went!

Then the other day I received a letter from the tax office charging me for overdue taxes. I was surprised and rushed to check and found that Federal was postponed until May 17, but State's deadline was April 20 !

Of course I knew it was usually April 15. Of course, I knew that the usual deadline is April 15, but I had no doubt that it could be irregular due to the pandemic ? and I am responsible for taking the accountant's word for it, but I trusted him completely as he is a Japanese man who has been our client for several years and is a professional. I trusted him completely.

When I told this to the accountant, he was apparently "convinced" that I would have to pay a penalty and accepted the appointment in May. My husband was introduced to this person by an acquaintance, and we have been using him for several years, but he is not a very nice person, his fees go up every year, and from our point of view, if we had known from the beginning, there is no reason or benefit to paying a penalty to have him. There is no advantage whatsoever.

Finally, he yelled at me on the phone and was very upset, but that didn't mean he would pay the penalty on my behalf...

He said he wants to reduce the number of clients because he is a one-man operation and can't handle it, and that he doesn't know if he will do it next year. He said every year that he was not sure if he would do it next year, and that he was not sure if he would be able to do it next year. !

I had no choice but to pay the overdue tax as it was a study fee, but the deadline may be irregular again next year and I am writing this to prevent anyone else from making the same mistake as me.
(I have lived in the US for almost 20 years, but this is the first time I have ever paid late taxes ! )



I know this is long, but finally

I was wondering if this time I have overdue tax payment and I

I tried to find out, but I couldn't. Please let me know if you know.

Federal Tax Refund on Unemployment Insurance

I saw the article and share it below.

Americans who overpaid taxes on unemployment benefits this year will start to receive refunds this week, the Internal Revenue Service

Under the American Rescue Plan, workers who received $ 10,200 or less in unemployment benefits last year don't have However, Congress passed the law change in March, after millions of people had already filed their tax returns. As many as 1 million people potentially overpaid their taxes and could be in line for refunds, the IRS said Friday. It's doing the work in phases, starting with single taxpayers with simple returns - such as those who didn't claim refunds.

More complex returns, including those filed by married couples filing jointly, will take until the end

Taxpayers who overpaid don't need to do anything. The IRS said it is reviewing and correcting returns "to determine the correct taxable amount of unemployment compensation and tax." Not all people in that bucket will receive more money, the agency said, noting that reviews "could result in a refund, a reduced balance due or no change to tax."

Taxpayers who provided bank information when they filed their returns will get any money due back via direct deposit.

At this time, locos say they have received their letters and have received their Refund. At this time, some locos have received their letters and Refund, while others have not yet received their letters or Refund, so it is taking some time. In the case of a couple filing, it will take until this summer.

Your accountant should have the latest IRS information, so we recommend that you contact your accountant if you had your accountant file for you. If you have filed your own, we recommend that you check the IRS website for the latest information or contact a consultation service.
