thanks. That is what I expected. I don't mind doing it for the 2022 filing. I really wanted it to file a correction on 2021.

I managed to lose the .data file for my 2021 Japan Tax returns. There is no way to recover via the e-tax site, right?

Thanks for your reply. That makes sense. My thought after reading your reply was that it was just part of my severance package (and it was). I ended up with a lot of foreign tax credits to carry forward and no foreign income to apply them to. I just searched for WEP and severance and found the follo...

I don't think Japan has the equivalent of WEP. I would imagine that as a resident of Japan you simply pay taxes based on the public-pension rate for the combined benefits.

... I know this is an old thread, but I was questioning whether I was handling my MMF correctly on the FA5102. On FA5102 what 国外財産の区分 (Classification of foreign property) do you specify for the MMF? 非上場株式 Unlisted stocks? My MMF is a US Vanguard Fund so I have been using Unlisted stock. I also have...
