If a self-employed or freelance worker loses his or her job due to the spread of the new coronavirus, in addition to the regular unemployment insurance for employees employed by the company, the "Corona Unemployment Assistance" pandemic ・ unemployment ・ assistance ( PUA ) unemployment insurance has been provided, but KHON has been informed that in order to receive this unemployment insurance benefit in the future, the applicant will be required to show that he/she has conducted at least three job searches each week.

People receiving regular unemployment insurance are already required to do some kind of activity, such as sending a resume seeking a job three times a week in order to receive unemployment insurance, but starting next week they will also be required to do some kind of activity to receive PUA.

Currently, about 36,000 people are receiving the PUA, but starting Sunday, June 20 ( ) they will need to indicate on the website what kind of job search activity they have done.

You must do some form of advertising or marketing activity, such as advertising your work or posting a profile on a freelance website.

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.

Storage of flour, pasta, etc.

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 ?.

Question

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.
