The Bay Area's beauty needs are ？.

Hello, my name is Saya, and I have been an esthetician and massage therapist in Japan for 10 years and in the U.S. for about 2 years.
As I receive feedback from many customers on a daily basis, I suddenly became curious about what kind of esthetic and body massage services Japanese people in the Bay Area are looking for, and I would like to ask a question. If possible, I would like to get two opinions about the services, one is about business trip services and the other is about salon services. I know you have many wishes for genre, atmosphere, skill, price range, etc. I would be happy to hear your honest opinions and requests.
If you have a favorite spa, we would like to know about it too.

I found an omission on my tax return last year and did not file a return.

If I fail to file a return, is there any additional taxation or anything like that? ？


I am currently living in Japan and started a Partnership LLC in California with a friend who lives in the US.
No expenses have been incurred.
My friend is doing the tax filing as an LLC.
I have not received any distributions from this LLC, but I am doing a TaxReturn because the earnings of the Partnership LLC are considered personal income.

I have been filing two tax returns,
Federal 1040NR
State 540NR
and since 2021 I have been using the TaxReturn filing tool （ TaxAct ） to file my tax returns via e-file. TaxAct TaxReturn
I thought I had completed the 2022 return, but the State return was not sent. It seems that I did not meet the e-file requirements. I checked and found that I also failed to file for 2021, so I think I will file another return by mail.
Note that I have received some money back from Federal, but not from State.

If I include last year's return to the state, will I have to pay additional tax like in Japan?

こんにちは。床にちゃぶ台を置いて、そこでパソコンで仕事をすることになり、あまりに腰が痛いので、座椅子を買うことを思いつきました・・・が、いわゆる日本であるところの、座椅子（硬いのではなくて、やわらかくて、背もたれとアームレストがついていて、床からは少し高い）がＷｅｂでもお店でもなかなか見つかりません。アジア系のお店ならあるのかなと思っていますが・・・どこで買えるか、あるいはこんなのを見た、と言う方がいらしたら教えてくださいませんか？よろしくおねがいします。なお、デスクにイスはスペース上無理なので、座椅子で・・・と思っています。

I have decided to get a driver's license ！
The DMV website says that I need at least two documents for the test, such as ID, bank account documents, apartment contract, and electric/gas bill, etc.
The apartment and electric/gas contract are in my husband's name. The apartment and the electricity and gas are in my husband's name and not in my name. （ I was told that I need an ID to open a bank account, but I could not do so because I do not have a driver's license or ID card.

I would appreciate it if someone who has obtained a driver's license and was in a situation like mine could tell me what kind of documents they submitted to the DMV.

Sorry for the confusing text.

It is faster to go to the DMV office and ask them directly.
Many conditions change. There are many people like you, so the direct consultation window at the DMV is accurate.

The number of documents required will vary depending on whether you have a driver's license only or with Real ID. …

The lease agreement for the apartment will have the names and signatures of the adult roommates other than the contractor (Topi(Topi)》. Please check. If not, please ask them to put their names on the lease and sign it now.

I was able to open a bank account with a passport and a proof of address (a proof of lease) (I know someone who opened a bank account with Bank of America a year ago without SSN.)

I think you can put your name on the cell phone contract too, so please do.

I think you can apply at the DMV if you bring copies of these.

I created an account for my son last year at Union Bank.
I think if you have your permanent residency and passport you can get the account set up quickly, as all you needed was two photo proofs.
I think you also have marriage certificates etc. and it would be quicker to talk to your husband if he helped you ？.

Does a furnished apartment include a bed? It is normal to get it locally ？ Please tell me - ！.

If it is furnished, I think beds are usually included.
If you search for furnished apartments, you can see if there is a bed or not in the pictures.
You should inquire about it, but ・ ・ ・

I recommend Gakken teaching materials.
My son is using it now. If you need it, I will give it to you at a reasonable price.

Has anyone started applying for a green card during the OPT period? This is an application for permanent residence through marriage to an American citizen. I have a few questions and thought I would post here to share some information. For those of you who have recently started the application process, is it still too late in the process ？ and is there any risk of returning to Japan before starting the application ？?

I can transfer from Japan in May ？.

Can anyone please tell me ！
Even though it is the end of the school year, I would like my child to be able to transfer to the elementary school of his/her choice in May so that he/she can get accustomed to the local school as much as possible. I wonder if the school will accept them at the end of the school year.
As far as I can tell from the school's website, the information seems to indicate that it is not accepted … but I guess not ….
I don't know, so I would appreciate it if someone with experience could tell me ！.

SanJose public elementary school, there was a previous expat who moved into the school in May. I think it is a matter of availability, not timing, as to whether we can accept them or not.

As nao mentioned, I think it is whether there are openings or not. Personally, I think that at the end of the school year, the atmosphere of the classes and school has matured over the past year. I hope that your child will not feel alienated in this atmosphere.
