I am a woman in her 40s whose gray hair is becoming more and more noticeable.

I would like to know a hair salon or beautician on Oahu who is good at coloring my gray hair. I would like to have my hair colored so that it will blend in with my gray hair even after it grows out, and not just one color. I would appreciate it if you can speak Japanese, but English is also fine.

If you know someone, please let me know.

Sale of shares deposited with Japanese securities firms

I live in the United States. I have removed my certificate of residence in Japan, but left my shares deposited in an account at a Japanese brokerage firm.
When I tried to sell these, the procedure is easy, but the brokerage firm advised me
to declare the gain from the sale in the US. Is it OK if I just calculate it from the gain on the sale and file it myself on my tax return ?
It seems that TAX is higher in the US, but if anyone knows about the procedures, etc., please advise me.

This section answers your questions regarding the reporting of gains ( ) capital gains on stock returns in Japan.

When you have a gain or loss on a stock transaction, you must report it on Schedule D of your U.S. tax return form 1040.
Based on the brokerage firm's statement of transactions, enter the amount of the difference between the price at which you bought the stock and the price at which you sold it, if there was a gain
or a loss, on the form, calculate the total
amount of income, and report the gain as taxable income.

You will be required to file a tax return on the profit. If you have traded stocks in the U.S., you only need to convert
Japanese yen into U.S. dollars at the specified exchange rate, otherwise, the process is the same whether you have traded stocks in Japan or the U.S.
.

Judging from the fact that you are asking this question, we assume that you have never
declared your stock transactions and profits in the US.

In that case, we recommend that you contact a professional to handle this matter.

Furthermore, if you transfer the amount of shares you sold to the U.S. and put it in your bank account in the U.S.,
there is no problem, but if you put it in your bank account in Japan,
if the total amount of the shares you sold exceeds 10 , 000 USD per year, you will be required to file a separate return in the U.S. If you are not able to handle this matter by yourself, please consult a professional
and have him handle it.

If you have assets of more than $10,000 in Japan, you are required to file an annual tax return with the IRS.
If you do not report your assets to the IRS, it may be considered money laundering. It is advisable to consult your CPA and take appropriate measures.

If you own more than $10,000 in assets in Japan (stocks, bank deposits, savings accounts, etc.), you are required to file an annual return with the IRS. Failure to file may be considered money laundering.

Dear tax man
Thank you for your kind explanation. Your information was very helpful.
We ask a professional to do our tax returns every year.
When I sell stocks, I should keep track of the purchase price and sale price at that time from the brokerage firm
so that I can know my income for next year's tax return.
Thank you for your detailed explanation !.

I don't really understand what the Japanese government is thinking 😡

they say lockdown is also prohibited by law...

Australia has been actively working on

corona even though it is larger than Japan...

Australia has been very proactive in dealing with coronas, even though it is a much larger country than Japan... Even a single infected person can cause a huge uproar !

Is it because Japan is too lax and does not follow the rules?

In Hawaii, restaurants and supermarkets are very strict in limiting the number of people in a restaurant or supermarket during tire2 or tire3

and they are very strict...

Japan is really too lax !

In fact, what's the point of having a quarantine system?

Hawaii is also overflowing with tourists from the US mainland

and the number of infected people continues to rise, prompting residents to complain and evacuate

so they are starting to regulate tourists ! I'm all for it! !

I would rather have a lockdown ! than more unemployment

and I don't want tourists with bad manners coming to Hawaii

I hope they learn before they come !

we also see a lot of littering with masks !

#7 Hawaii

As I commented in #2, I wanted to protest the Japanese government

and the Japanese government's response is too slow and the vaccination rate in Japan is too low.

Now that it is hosting the Tokyo Olympics, so much so that a state of emergency has been declared

thousands of positives every day.

Hawaii now has too many tourists from the mainland US, hundreds positive every day.

The state of Hawaii is trying to limit the number of tourists.

We now have a situation where Japanese tourists cannot come to Hawaii.

Topy Brave is right, for the sake of Hawaii residents, we would like the 2 week quarantine to be lifted after returning to Japan.

I guess I can say that because I am in a position where I don't go back to Japan, or I have a job that allows me to take long vacations at any time. However, there are many people in the world with various circumstances. What do you expect me to do if I cannot take a long vacation because of my job, but something happens to my family in Japan and I need to see them? The government does not consider people's circumstances and does whatever it wants to do out of its own selfishness. Certainly, debating here is not going to make a difference.

I am a UI recipient.

Please let me know if you know anything about this !

I signed up for a po box when I moved in starting August 1.
*I have heard a lot about mail theft recently, so I signed up for a po box to make sure I receive my important mail.
I would like to change my address on UI online, but since there is only one address input field, I got lost below.

① Register current address
*Concern: mail from UI does not reach po box
② Register po box
*Concern: UI side may think I have no address ?

po box I would appreciate it if you could advise me how to register a change of address in case of use.
please do !

The UI office prints the address on the UI account on the 1099 form, which is the Federal Tax and State Tax notice, and the process is to send it to the recipient.

The above process may not be accepting PO Boxes. Also, if you can only update one address in your UI account, it is possible that you are not accepting PO Boxes.

Unless there is a written advice that PO Box was OK, I suggest you to check with the call center directly.

August,

Thank you for your first post and message. I hope you will continue to share with those close to you the kindness that many of you have shared information with us on the numerous unemployment insurance topics.

I know it has been a difficult year with the Corona disaster, adding not only the stress of social distance and unemployment stress, but also the stress of the unemployment insurance process, which is not well maintained. And I think the hardest of all was for the Essential Workers who were forced to come to work at a time when they did not have such generous benefits as unemployment insurance and were not sure what Corona was or how to deal with it.

I can only hope that by next year all the unemployment insurance topics will be gone and all of us will be back to our pre-Corona routine.

Thank you for everything.

In case anyone else is like me, I thought it might be helpful ? so I posted this.

Here's my follow-up report, I emailed UI but it doesn't look like I'll be hearing from them.

I made an INITIAL claim on July 6, called 250 times on July 8, and finally got through.

I haven't worked since last March, but as soon as the call connects, they ask for my social security number, which I have not had since last March.

Next, I was asked if I had ever gone back to work.

When I said no, they asked me ? what was this amount I received last year, and when I said SEVERANCE, they asked me ? what was the amount I received this year, and I said

it was SEVERANCE. I answered "SEVERANCE". I answered, " SEVERANCE.

Then he asked me to email him all my paystubs from last October to this March.

I emailed them all on July 8, but there was no action, and the last two I filed, for June 26 and July 3, are still pending.

Yesterday, the file for July 10 was ready, and when I filed it, it was displayed in a strange place. I am full of anxiety.

I'm so anxious that I called 300 times today and was able to get through, so I emailed them my paycheck stub and told them I wanted my account fixed

on PEUC's extension screen until September.

[When did you send me your paycheck ? ] July 8.

[You're not the only one waiting, so] How long should I wait ?

[I don't know, the sparvisor is taking turns] I'm sorry, let me talk to the sparvisor directly.

[Why, what are you talking about ? ] Because last week I called 250 times and finally got through, and today I called 300 times and finally got through, so I need to know how long I have to wait
and
what to do.

[Actually, it was me you talked to last week. I haven't seen the paycheck you sent me yet, but I'll give it to the supervisor when I have time, so you'll have to wait. I didn't say so, but I thought so in my mind.

I had a very nice person answer the phone before, so I was hoping ? he would answer the phone, but to my surprise, it was the same person as last week.

I hope he is actually a very nice and nice person who is good at his job, even though he talks like a jerk.


[And I'll let you know what to do and what the next step is. He said.

Ahhhh. Another round hair loss, it's going to spread.

My body and mind are already in shambles from job hunting with three companies every week, and unemployment insurance is starting to smell like another long battle. I'm feeling like I'm going to be in it for the long haul.

I am contacting you in the hope that I can be of some help to you.

Thanks for sharing. I still see the trend of requesting copies of pay stubs, and it seems like the UI office is getting more and more detailed as we head into September, when the PEUC is likely to end.

June → September PEUC extension is in the middle of the season and there should be a flood of requests for Examiner Approval, so you will have to wait your turn.

The "Receiving Unemployment Insurance, and Working as a Sole Proprietor" Topic contains some tips, so you might want to look for the Topic and read it.

However, the call center advice seems to be scattered regarding sole proprietorships as well. If there are no advice posts, I would suggest contacting the call center and asking the call center staff to double check with the Examiner and ask how to apply currently. In the future, I think it would be easier to get the attention of people receiving UI unemployment insurance, including sole proprietors, if you post in the "Unemployment Insurance Receiving, Sole Proprietor Jobs" topic instead of this topic.

Stop building high-speed rail on Oahu ! !

As the subject.
The project is so irresponsible that it is still $ 3 BILLION ( about 320 Billion yen ) under budget, but this project was contracted from its inception so that no one would be held responsible for any delays or budget increases, making it a very lucrative business for the related contractors. This is a very lucrative business for the related companies. The first plan was to have Hawaii's high-speed rail fully open by 2020, but now the full opening of the 21 stations from East Kapolei to Ala Moana Center is expected to be delayed to 2031, and the project is now in a state of "can-do" scam.
Lori ・ Kahikina, who was appointed CEO on an interim basis, says that federal funding to date has included a section to "Ala Moana Center Station" and that if this is revoked, federal funding may not be available in the future, but the original However, the CEO's comment is far from common sense, as it is a man-made disaster caused by sloppy planning. ( Typical comment of avoiding responsibility )
Under the severe financial situation of Honolulu, the city of Honolulu has been paying hundreds of millions of blood tax every month to builders, and no one has been arrested even though collusion and bribes are rampant in this project
The luxury condominium complex in the Kakaako area was described in the brochure as "the station will be right in front of it. ! ! Isn't it strange ? that they assume that the railroad will come as part of the wealthy's money-making scheme? If it's not done, real estate values will plummet, so you're just trying
to get it built, no matter what. Let's all speak up to stop this ridiculous project ! !.
