Dual nationality passport expired

Question

My dual nationality child's Japanese passport expires in six months. When I tried to purchase a ticket to Japan for next summer, I was unable to make a reservation because my passport information is about to expire. Since my U.S. passport is valid until 2026, can I travel to Japan with only my U.S. passport this time? I originally traveled between Japan and Hawaii with only one U.S. passport, but when travel restrictions were established in Corona, I got a Japanese passport as well.

Now you can still renew it at the consulate in a week or so
so why not do it at the consulate ？ and you can do it a year before it expires.

Excuse me, I missed reading that. You have a period of time until the year after next.
I think you can use an American passport out and a Japanese passport in and out of Japan ？
I don't think you have to make a reservation either way ？.

Thank you for your answer
I was able to purchase a ticket successfully with my American passport information. Even though I purchased the ticket with an American passport, when I arrive at the airport in Japan, should I get in line with the Japanese and enter the country with a Japanese passport? On the way back, do I leave the Japanese airport with a Japanese passport and enter with an American passport when I arrive in Hawaii?

Remittance from Japan to Hawaii

Question

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.

Venmo and paypal

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.

When exchanging money via Paypal, Sending to a friend （ without protection ） is not taxed. Paying for an item or service （ with protection ） may be taxable
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

Question

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!

Can Hawaii claim alimony from spouse and adulterer ？?

Question
#1
  • NJ
  • mail
  • 2024/11/08 05:12

My friend's husband suddenly asked her for a divorce
, and not knowing the Hawaiian law and system, she signed the papers half-intimidated by the other party and soon after found out that the other party was having an affair. If I have already filed the divorce papers without demanding anything, will I have no choice but to cry myself to sleep?

I believe that many states, including Hawaii, have a No Fault Divorce law, which means that there is no alimony for emotional distress in the event of divorce due to adultery or infidelity, but alimony may be granted for a certain period of time
if the divorce is financially difficult.
It is not something that a layman can do, so we recommend that you consult a divorce attorney.
In the U.S., a layman cannot give advice on legal matters lightly.

I also got divorced because my husband suddenly asked for a divorce, but in the end there was a woman. I was told by my lawyer that it doesn't matter if he is having an affair or not here. If you spend a lot of time arguing about it, the lawyer's fees will probably cost you more. I understand how you feel, but it would be easier to just cut off such a man and move on with your life. Punishment will surely come around.
