Not Professional Advice
Nothing on this site constitutes tax, legal, accounting, immigration, or investment advice. We are not licensed tax professionals, attorneys, or financial advisors. Cross-border tax and immigration rules are complex, change frequently, and depend heavily on your individual circumstances.

Accuracy of Information
We do our best to cite primary sources (IRS, USCIS, Japan’s National Tax Agency, and others) and to date any figures that may change, such as exclusion amounts and thresholds. Even so, laws and numbers change, and we make no representations or warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information on this site. Any reliance you place on it is strictly at your own risk, and we accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from its use.
