It is not easy to get a response. As for enrollment in the Japanese National Health Insurance while temporarily returning to Japan, each local government has a different view ・ on how to handle the situation. If you are living abroad and temporarily return to Japan and then go back abroad again, you may not be eligible for the transfer in some areas. I always return to Japan for a few months every year, but in my case, I am the head of the household and move in at my parents' address, and my children are my live-in family. When moving in, there is always a confirmation of the landing date on the stamp page of my passport, so I always have my passport stamped with the landing date after the automatic gate at the arrival airport. If you enroll in the National Health Insurance system, a payment slip for health insurance premiums will be sent to your parents' house in a lump sum. I have told my parents to pay all the premiums before I return to Hawaii and to ignore any mail addressed to me that arrives at my parents' house after I leave because they say that they cannot refund the premiums once paid. Now that we are in Corona, travel restrictions are stricter than they were before Corona. Before Corona, my family used to travel between Japan and Hawaii with only US passports for my husband and children, but now I think we need both Japanese and US passports, green cards, and visas.

There is a site called meetup.com （ recently they have an app ） and you can search for the city name and the item you want to do and groups and events will come up.
Not too long ago, there was a group that played volleyball on weekends at Kapiolani Park.
I've actually seen them do it.
You might want to do a search.

I have never used this method to switch licenses, but ・ ・ ・

Bank Statements should be Printable if you log into Online Banking.
There you should be able to print a statement with your name and address ・ even if it is set to Paperless.
At least FHB and CPB can do it.

I think you can use statements from your cell phone company as other proof, but I don't know. ？
You can also print statements from Papaerless if you go to your account.
Similarly, I think I could use Statements from my credit card, but I'm not sure.

I was OK with the statement I printed out from the bank office last month and the documents from when I applied for my SSN.
When I asked the consulate to issue the certificate, they told me that it will be invalid when the SS card is detached, but would you like to try ？
and I was worried, but at the license center, the document that accepted my SSN application is fine.

It's not easy to make an appointment now, so I recommend getting in line at 8 ： 00 in the morning.
If you're lucky, you can be in the room in about an hour, and it takes about 30 minutes.

＃ As 2 Aloha said, it seems high for a 2 bed condo. how much has the usage ≪(KWH≪) fluctuated over the past year with Heco's electricity bill? I think you need to check that first and find out if there are times when your usage has spiked. Some electricians have clamp-style ammeters, so you should be able to tell which appliances are drawing abnormal current by turning the breakers of each appliance on and off and having them check the change in current. An electrician would know which appliances usually have how much. If they still can't find anything abnormal, there may be a problem with the way the electricity is used itself. On this neighborhood bulletin board, there has been a great deal of talk about the unusual increase in electricity bills this summer, and the rate structure itself seems to have gone up quite a bit. Even at home, this month's rates were 16% higher than last month's, and 12% higher than the month before and the month before last. Usually $ about 350, but this month it was 40% more.

Thanks to the Lord for this topic.
It's not often that I get a chance to ask how much you all spend on electricity. Our house is also around $150.
2 people, 1100 Sq in a duplex, no A/C, 1 fan almost all day, at least 5 cycles of washer and dryer all day.

My experience was
1Bd 2 people old property no AC, small fridge, whirlpool electric stove in kitchen to
2Bd new property
after moving in electric bill about $80 less per month.

New appliances
Washer, Dryer, AC, electric stove flat in kitchen. Large refrigerator.
All have Energy Saving stickers.

If you own your home,
replace it with newer appliances,
or move into a newer or newly built home, you will see the difference.

Thank you for writing. I told my landlord and he said the refrigerator is old and I can replace it.　If that doesn't work, by way of changing the electricity panel on the breaker. I would like to find the refrigerator that twin mentioned with energy saving on it because we can choose the refrigerator we want with our budget.

I have applied for a green card without a lawyer before, and when I had a problem, I used the above method to solve it. I was told that the process takes time, but there were steps that took so long that I thought they might have forgotten about me, so I tried to contact them.

I have lived abroad for a long time, but I also maintain a Japanese account and credit card.
I am able to do this because my permanent address is my parents' address, but before Corona, I used to return to Japan once or twice a year, so I deposited money into my account each time ＆ I did passbook entries, etc.

Since a few years ago, I have registered a Japanese credit card for automatic debit since e-books cannot be purchased with credit cards issued abroad. Since I was unable to return to Japan until last month due to the Corona disaster, I had to inquire about my balance online several times a year.
Since my balance was getting low and I did not know when I would be able to return to Japan, I started to send money to my Japanese account in WISE, but I still make sure that the balance is less than 1 million yen to avoid taxes.

Many people who live overseas but have parents or siblings in Japan maintain a Japanese bank account.

Thank you for your experience.
I think you mean the balance inquiry on the internet, right? ？ Japanese banks don't allow you to check your balance on the internet ？ I don't really know what's going on with Japanese banks these days.

#10 I was slightly concerned about the expression "to avoid taxation". Basically, there is no taxation on the transfer itself between the individual's accounts in Japan and the US.
However, when there is a remittance ／ of 1 million yen or more at a Japanese bank, a copy of the transaction is automatically sent to the tax office. Also, when a U.S. bank receives a remittance of $10,000 or more ／, a report is automatically sent to the IRS. Especially in Japan, remittances to non-permanent residents are required to be reported on the individual's tax return, so that the IRS can check the information with the tax office. If the frequency of remittance is too frequent, the tax office may conduct an investigation under the title of "Inquiry concerning foreign assets.
In addition, if you have financial assets （ or accounts ） outside the U.S. of $10,000 or more, you are required to report them on Form 1040, and you are also required to report the account information on FinCen114.
The above is to prevent Money Laundering, as explained by tax man, and as long as the information required by the IRS is reported correctly, it does not matter if the account balance is over $10,000.

You can lose up to $3 ， 000 in stocks for
years until you recoup your losses.

This is for the entire US, not just Hawaii.

Furthermore, it appears from your question itself that you have no
experience with tax returns in the US, so there are other rules and regulations, so

you cannot handle your tax return with the knowledge from the board, so
be sure to file your tax return. If you are going to file a tax return, we recommend you to ask a professional to do it for you.

Please refer to the following English explanation and translation.

How many years can you claim stock losses?
You'll always have the annual $ 3,000 limit on ordinary income deductions, but the losses can be as much as $3,000 per year.
（ What years can I claim losses on stock?
How many years can I carry forward capital losses ？ I can carry forward capital losses for as many years as I need until I can use the capital losses for tax purposes.
There is always a $3,000 annual limit on the ordinary income deduction, but losses may offset future capital gains. ｝

Thank you very much tax man.
Normally, I only sell stocks that I have made a profit on, but this time I wanted to liquidate individual stocks other than Roth IRAs and asked my CPA if I could offset the capital loss. I have lived in Hawaii for about 20 years and make tax returns every year, but I'm embarrassed to say that it seems to have been a very basic question. I need to study more.
