The article on the following website may be of interest to you. In particular, I think it is important to note the difference between the income reporting year and the foreign tax credit year.

I believe that you have been receiving rental income
from your investment property and have been reporting it
to the Japanese tax office.

If you sell the property and make a profit, you will incur capital gains
taxes in the U.S., but since you are a resident of Japan,
you will not file a tax return in the U.S.
so you will have to pay taxes in the U.S. Since you are a Japanese resident, you will not receive a U.S. tax return, so the capital gain will be withheld by escrow at the time of sale and paid to the IRS
.

Then, as a resident of Japan, you will file a tax return in Japan
for the gain from the sale of the Hawaii property, and you will receive a
foreign tax credit for the capital gain tax withheld in the US. （ You will receive a refund ）

Specifically, we recommend that you contact an escrow company in the U.S. to receive the documents, and in Japan
consult with your tax advisor or local tax office to handle the transaction.

If I rent or vacation rentals, does this mean that I also have to report to the Japanese tax office once a year? We are planning to rent a vacation in the future, but we probably won't make a profit due to property taxes and management fees, but do we still have to report to Japan?
Are there any penalties for not reporting?

I paid taxes in the U.S. and
did not report my rental income to Japan because I made very little money.
Is there any penalty ？?

Suppose there is a Japanese person living and working in the U.S. on a work visa or permanent resident status.
Suppose that person has a house in Japan
and rents it out to earn rental income.
Of course, he does not have a certificate of residence, so in that case,
the real estate company acting as an intermediary would withhold taxes from the rent and pay them in Japan
.

As you probably know, in the U.S., if you
reside in the U.S., you are required to report your worldwide income in the U.S.
However, especially between Japan and the U.S.,
double taxation of the same income has been abolished, so that income paid in Japan is
paid back in the form of Foreign Paid Tax
.

Conversely,
a Japanese person residing in Japan who has investment property in the U.S. and earns
income will have to file a return in Japan for
income tax withheld in the U.S.

However, the problem is that there is a "practical problem"
whether the tax must be paid in two countries as per the rules, even if no tax is due.

In other words, the question is why
you have to go through the
time-consuming procedure of filing the same income again in another country and getting back the tax paid in the other country, when you have already paid the tax in one country?

A system similar to this is the "FBAR" tax return that you have been asking about recently, where if you have more than $10,000 in a bank account
in Japan, you have to file in the US
and several people
repeat the question every year. Some people are repeatedly asked about it every year.

In other words, there is a similar question as to why we have to file
in the U.S. ？ for deposits in an After Tax bank account ）
for which income tax is paid （ on salary earned while in Japan.



What you need to understand is that the Regulations state that you must
report your rental income in Japan in the U.S. and that you must
strictly speaking report income from investment properties you own in the U.S. if you live in Japan. Strictly speaking, the "Regulations" state that you must file a tax return.

As an example, if you were to ask a highway patrol officer in the U.S.
about the speed limit on a highway, he or she would probably say
65 mph. But as you can see everyone is actually driving
under 65 mph and almost always over
the speed limit. But if you ask, the answer is 65 mph.

In other words, there is a difference between the rule itself and the actual situation, which means that
unless you are doing something illegal like tax evasion, you should
decide at your own discretion whether or not to file a tax return.

Studying English in Hawaii at the age of 17, that's a wonderful experience.
And your attitude of not blaming the environment is wonderful ！ and your willingness to interact with the locals is also wonderful ！
I run an English school in Waikiki, and like you, there are people who are 'struggling' in other schools with a high percentage of Japanese students in their classes. I run an English school in Waikiki, and like you, I know people who have 'struggled' in other schools with a high percentage of Japanese students and large class sizes

A student from Switzerland found volunteer work in a preschool. Good luck to you too ！.

I too think Yoo's attitude is wonderful. I myself had similar problems when I studied in Hawaii, so I understand.
I had the opportunity to get to know local people through volunteering and learning.
At places like Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii and Surfrider Oahu Chapter, which regularly conduct beach cleanups and other activities, the staff was very personable and everyone was kind. In some places, everyone has a strong bond with each other and you may be treated like a stranger, but the more times you show up, the more people will talk to you. I am sure that with your attitude, if you take your time and don't rush, you will be accepted. If you like, you can inquire about it. Recently, some events that were closed in Corona are being resumed, so I think the timing is also good.

When you are a language student, it's hard to buy with the locals.

I rarely interact with Japanese people. Well, I am not a language student, but I live in
Hawaii.

My recommendation is to go to a Christian church service. Preferably one that doesn't have
Japanese language services.

I am a Christian, so I attend services, but I don't
attend Japanese services now.

Also, I live in an environment where I have no interaction with Japanese people.

Please visit your local church. Maybe you will find what you are looking for there

Yoo,
you seem like a very solid person.
Have you heard of the website meetup.com ？
If you search by hobbies or interests, such as hiking, volleyball, or Japanese language learners in Oahu, you can find activity groups.
Why don't you try to find one?

I am sorry for repeating myself. Do you know which name and passport number should be written on the negative certificate for return, Japanese passport name or American passport name? Since the airline ticket is under the Japanese passport name, should the name and passport number on the negative certificate also be the Japanese one? Or should I use the name and passport number of my US passport since it is a negative certificate for entry into the US? If you know, please let me know. Please let me know if you know.

I did the opposite and bought it under my US passport name as I did before Corona. Two days ago, I checked with ANA and they asked me to buy it with my Japanese passport name and I am wondering if I have to change my name. Has anyone purchased with an American passport name ？ I would like some information.
As for the negative certificate, I believe it is the Japanese passport name when entering Japan and the US passport name when returning to the US.

Hi
I am returning home three times to the Corona Disaster with my daughter, 3 years old, who has dual citizenship.
Since the airline ticket is from Hawaii first, I purchased a round trip ticket under the name of my US passport, and presented both passports when departing from Hawaii and from Japan.
When entering the country, I entered with the passport of each country of entry.

PCR is also in the name of the person entering each country. When departing from Hawaii, PCR is in the name of Japanese passport since it is necessary for entering Japan, and when departing from Japan, PCR is inspected in the name of American passport since it is necessary for entering Hawaii and America.

The airline ticket is in the name of the U.S. passport, and there is no problem at all when departing from Japan.

I see ！
The staff I spoke to on the phone yesterday told me that they don't usually do names and that it is the same name for the return trip.
I am a first time returnee with my child, so I don't know a lot of things, but I will go as is for now ☺ ︎

Sorry, but I don't know about the negative proof for the return trip, as I return tomorrow. But when I do, I plan to use my child's Japanese passport name.

By the way, JAL customer center was very crowded and I waited for almost 2 hours.

Topic.
After summarizing your valuable experiences, it seems to me that I don't have to change the name on my return ticket, and as long as I have two passports, I can use the name of either country.

Also, since Japan is under the Corona entry restrictions, I assumed that only a Japanese passport would be allowed to enter Japan, so I purchased a ticket with a Japanese passport name, but I see that a Japanese passport can enter Japan with an American passport name. I will buy a ticket with the name of my American passport next time, just like I did before Corona. My biggest concern was which country's passport name to use for the negative certificate for the return trip, the Japanese or the U.S. However, the negative certificate and the inspection when entering the U.S. are no longer required due to the travel relaxation, so my concern about the name on the negative certificate has been resolved.

Zipair's Japanese service is still completely unreachable, but they told me that they are relatively free in languages other than Japanese, so if you can contact them in English or any other language, please use that service. I sent an email to them in English, but they didn't reply, but now I know that I can get a negative certificate.

Thank you all for your valuable experiences and advice.

R&B,

The CVS appointment page says antigen testing is a few hours.


By the way, according to the CDC page, if you have been vaccinated, testing within 3-5 days of entering the US is RECOMMENDED.
Does the workplace where you work apply strict standards?

Hello. When I returned to Japan a few years ago,
I was able to connect to Softbank with Tmobile so I didn't have to rent a router

I recommend a cheap SIM called Google Fi （ They use T-mobile's signal in Hawaii ）. Here is a referral link.
https://g.co/fi/r/9KP0AW

I was a T-mobile user for many years because it was easy to use in Japan and overseas, but I'm glad I switched. eSIM is also available so you can switch online. The basic plan is $ 20/month ＋ $ 10/GB, but in my case I use Wifi a lot, so $ 40 ～ 50 per month for one person. There are other plans available if you use more data. The best part is that I can use my high speed data in other countries like Japan for the same price ＆ data plan without having to do anything. In Japan, when I was back this month, they changed to Softbank signal.

For example, if you use 3GB this month in Hawaii and then use 3GB in Japan in the middle of the month, you would be charged the same rate for a total of 6GB. I don't see or hear many ads for Google Fi in Hawaii, so when I learned about it last year, I wished I had known about it earlier ・ ・ ・ ！

By the way, I use dual SIM and Rakuten Mobile in Japan with the same phone. I also use Rakuten Mobile in Japan, but the signal is very bad, so when I switch to Google Fi signal at those times, I was comfortable with Softbank. If you are in Hawaii a lot, Rakuten Mobile is also recommended to have a Japanese cell phone number because you will not be charged for the months you do not use it, Google Fi alone or Google Fi + Rakuten combination is the best for Japanese in the US, but I think all the companies are changing their plans due to competition. If you have any other recommendations, I'd like to know too ！.

I am a T-Mobile user and I am temporarily back in Japan.
To sum up, if you are just on the go and check LINE or email, I don't think you need a Wi-Fi router.
However, it's very slow😅It takes a long time to open normal news sites, and you can't watch videos on Youtube.
I don't want to be frustrated when I'm out of town, so I apply for a Wi-Fi router rental before each departure and have it delivered to my parents' house on the day of arrival.

After the plane lands in Japan and you turn off Airplane Mode, you will receive a text from T-mobile a while later and you will be able to use the internet.
By the way, ↓ is the text I received.

Welcome to Japan! Your T-Mobile plan gives you unlimited data at up to 2G speeds and texts at no extra cost! Visit t-mo.co/intl-roam1 to learn more and view additional calling/data options.

I am glad to hear that you have confirmed with the airlines that you can travel.

During the corona, it would have made the news if someone had broken the hotel quarantine, but
the mood in Hawaii is now that the corona is a thing of the past （ evil ） and
I wonder how strictly the quarantine status is checked. I wonder how strictly the quarantine status will be checked in this situation.

But since this is just a personal guess, it would be nice to have a contribution from someone with experience.

Yesterday, 4/20, my friend arrived in Honolulu under the same conditions. I also thought lightly that since the atmosphere in Hawaii is no longer the Corona disaster, it would be okay to ignore the self-quarantine ？.
But in fact, the hotel where my friend is staying has been informed that she is under quarantine and that her card key can only be used once when she checks in, and once she leaves the room and the door is closed, she can no longer use the card key and the police and immigration will be notified. Perhaps, as in the case of the Corona Disaster, the hotel seems to get some kind of reward if you report it properly. I was surprised that they were quite strict.

Out of curiosity, I read the revised rules effective 4/14/2012, which are the Amended Order (Amended Order ⌘) and the Certificate of Attestation ⌘(Attestation ⌘).
https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/pdf/CDC-Vaccine-Order-04-04-2022-p.pdf
https://www.cdc.gov/quarantine/pdf/ATTACHMENT-A-COMBINED-PASSENGER-DISCLOSURE-AND-ATTESTATION-4-4-2022-p.pdf

With regard to allergies. Vaccines are exempted from vaccination if they are contraindicated (p. 16).
Contraindications include anaphylactic shock after the first dose of vaccine,
or a known allergic reaction to the contents of the vaccine.
For more information, please see.
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#contraindications
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#appendix-e
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/interim-considerations-us.html#appendix-f

This Medical Contraindications section states that a licensed physician must determine that the traveler exhibits symptoms of a medical contraindication to the coronavirus vaccine.

From the above, a food allergy is not a reason not to receive the corona vaccine, but
a vaccine-related allergy, diagnosed by a physician, is.
We are sorry to hear about your friend, Loco, but it does not seem to be a reason for not vaccinating due to a disease not related to a vaccine allergy.


With regard to immigration, I apologize for my lack of study, but I do not know if an immigration officer would deny a form in accordance with CDC guidelines on the basis of being unvaccinated.
Do they now ask if you are vaccinated or unvaccinated at immigration ？
By the way, immigration inspectors certainly have authority over immigration, so any traveler can be denied entry.

On the other hand, p. 27 of the revised regulations states that the airline must verify that the traveler is an exception to the vaccination requirement.
I hope the airlines are familiar with the rule, but
I suspect that they will not simply say yes, considering the procedures to be followed if a person is denied entry.

Finally, regarding quarantine, I read Attestation for the first time.
Since you will be signing and submitting this form stating that you are going to self-isolation,
please be aware that if you go out while in isolation and are questioned by the authorities and they find out you went out while in isolation,
there could be some bad consequences.

And that's a long story, but I think that's about all I can read from the relevant documents.
