what is your purpose to come to Japan in the first place
Thanks for your response! I know there's the foreign tax credit and foreign income threshold or something like that. But do you use things like Turbo tax or something to file your tax? Or you just go hard core using pen and paper and fill out your 1040 and stuff yourself?Vu,
Did you pay taxes to Japan for your Japanese income? If so, you can subtract the taxes you paid to Japan from the taxes you owe in America. I use the American standard deduction, and this means the taxes I owe to a foreign country is more than the tax charged by America, so you should come out ahead.
Irrelevant to the question being asked.
I am trying to apply for some universities in Japan at this moment and if I actually move to Japan I'll still have to file my US tax return as there will be some US based income while I could potentially also have some income in Japan.:emoji_sweat_smile::emoji_sweat_smile::emoji_sweat_smile:Just to confirm, what is your purpose to come to Japan in the first place? If you really want to learn in a Japanese university, I believe it's far more useful to learn Japanese instead of asking about those kinds of information in detail.
What is your answer to Glenski-san's questions in the following thread, by the way?
Graduate admission without letter of recommendation? | Japan Forum
To that specific question in this thread, yes, it might be so, but it seemed to me that his entry into a Japanese university was just a means to come to Japan, and he actually wanted to work in Japan by his questions so far (the "cheapest" university, penalty for overstaying, no response to the question about his major/field, etc.).Irrelevant to the question being asked.
