Is there anyone here who has the same ？
Perpetual Deposit Notice with a few confirmations on your account, please access the link. I received this email two days ago.
I received this email two days ago, and today I remembered and read it again and found that the deadline was today. I clicked on the link, but I had to disable my computer security to open it, and while I was trying to figure out how to do that, I realized that it was a fake email.
Do you think I can be sure it is a fake email because the sender's email address does not look like a bank ？ I am puzzled because this is the first time I have received such an email from someone claiming to be a Japanese bank.

Remittance from Japan to Hawaii

I used to use wise, but when I looked at it after a long time, I found that it charges a remittance fee.
I remember it didn't charge me before …

What do you use now ？
Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

There was a fee before Wise.
I don't think it is possible for international money transfers to be free of remittance fees.
When I was put on hold due to a mistake in operation when I temporarily returned to Japan, customer service helped me out with their quick response.
So far, I think Wise is the fastest and cheapest.

If you know of a place in Honolulu, preferably near Ala Moana or Downtown, where I can get my watch battery changed, please let me know. The battery in my watch that I use for work has run out and I need to get it replaced ASAP, but the watch shop on Pensacola St. that I usually go to is on vacation until 12/14, so I am in a bind. It is a simple watch with water resistance.

Alamoana or Down town Longs Drugs can change your battery ， You can drop off your watch and pick it up on the designated day.
It's not like in Japan where you have to wait in the store while they change the battery

I have no problem requesting more than a week off when I'm part time and have no benefits ？ I reported 3 months before the expected date.
Depending on the size of the company, busy season, etc., there are even times when my co-workers and bosses are not happy with me ？ If taking a vacation would cause problems for the company, I would be willing to quit.

I have been on vacation for a long time, but I have weekends off, so there are 7 days that I can't come to work. When I reported it to my boss, he looked at me with a little disapproval, but I told him that I would do something about it and he agreed, but I am worried that it will be a great inconvenience.

You mean in Hawaii （ within the US ）.
I think there are not many thoughtful people who report three months before their schedule, but unless it is a very small company, everyone takes their vacations without hesitation. I think only Japanese people can't take a vacation because they wonder if it would be a nuisance.

I use FB and IG to buy and sell unwanted items privately.
I get paid by Venmo or paypal, but is there a rule that says I have to file a tax return if my income is over 200,000 yen per year?

I did a quick search and found that it depends on the state, but I didn't know the amount in Hawaii.

This is my understanding, which I quickly researched because I was curious.
Anyone, please point out if my understanding is incorrect.

As a general rule, it seems that if you sell your own unused items for less than the purchase price, no tax is due.

https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/whats-the- difference-between-friends-and-family-or-goods-and-services-payments-help277

Paying for an item or service if more than the specified amount is transferred, Paypal has to report it to the IRS as a 1099-K.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/will-paypal-report-my-sales-to-the-irs-help543

Furthermore, here is a 1099-K for a private sale. What to do ？ but ultimately you should consult a tax professional.
Will the updated 1099-K threshold change apply if I sell personal property, like a couch or an item at a garage sale, if it was sold for less than its Will I be issued a Form 1099-K?
Form 1099-K is an IRS informational tax form that is used to report goods and services payments received by a business or individual in the While payment service providers, like PayPal and Venmo, are required by the IRS to send customers a Form-1099K if they meet the threshold amount ($ 5,000 for calendar year 2024, $ 2,500 for calendar year 2025, or $ 600 for calendar years 2026 and beyond^) PayPal is required to report the total gross amount of payments received for goods and services.

We encourage customers to speak with a tax professional when reviewing their 1099-Ks to determine whether specific amounts are classified as taxable income. I think this will not be a problem if the transaction is less than the amount, but in a few years $ it seems that 1099-Ks will be issued for transactions over 600, which could complicate the tax return process.

I don't know if #4 is the same as the questioner, but ・ ・ ・
if there is a $ 5,000+ transaction on Paypal for an item or service on 2024, the
1099-K form, Paypal will send a 1099-K to the IRS and the taxpayer.
Basically, the amount shown on the 1099-K should be reported as income on your tax return, but if you sell unused items （ and the sale price is lower than the purchase price ） you may not be eligible.
However, PayPal's comment is that you should seek the opinion of a tax accountant or other expert to determine whether or not you are eligible.

In summary, I think it would be a good idea to consult a tax accountant for more information.

This is a real site, and anyone who tells you to use it is a scammer.

Showing credit history etc. in advance is prohibited by real estate law.
So if you get a reply like this, it is definitely a scam.

In such cases, please BLOCK and ignore. It is dangerous.

I'm sure you're getting a kickback by getting me to subscribe to this service.

I said to someone else earlier, "I have a credit history
so I will provide that information." I said, "Only sites I approve
are allowed. Other than that, he said no." I replied,
"That's a scam." He stopped replying to me at all.

Post-divorce health insurance

For various reasons, I will not be able to work full time until the end of next year, so I am thinking that I will have to enroll myself
rather than through my workplace for a certain period of time after the divorce.
I would appreciate any information about health insurance, such as recommendations if you have purchased it yourself.

I have heard that there are Japanese-owned hospitals, but I have also seen that they are available
with insurance associated with a credit card. Is there anyone who has Japanese insurance and uses this hospital ？?

If your monthly income does not exceed $1,990 per month (including tax and gratuity)
you can join HMSA Quest ！ 😊

You can visit any hospital
for eye, dental and medical care but only for teeth
if you have an emergency toothache and need it pulled.
only if you have an emergency toothache and need to have it pulled
they don't charge you for doctor visits

when you apply for membership, you have to provide the office with your pay stubs for the last 3 months, but if you explain that you changed from full time to part time and no longer get insurance, you can get by with it.

You can send a copy of your paystubs, but
you should call the Quest office and inquire
first

the phone lines are always busy, so call early.
it is safer

there is no bank balance check, so don't worry

good luck!
