I was looking for the short/stupid questions thread as I don't think this deserves a post by itself, but I couldn't find it. Sorry, mods, I hope I'm not breaking any rules.
So my husband and I just purchased our own house (yey!) with a loan of 50 million. We have, however, donated to furusato nouzei before this purchase.
Now, here are my questions:
- How do we go about the change in address? I read on the furusato nouzei FAQs that we should contact the city directly and ask them, but I want to confirm whether this is the only way, or if we can edit the one-stop documents as we haven't submitted them yet.
- When I input my husband's income, etc. on Rakuten simulator, and include our mortgage, the result says we can only donate 2000 yen for this cycle. However, we already donated more than that… Is it correct of me to assume that our donations have literally become donations? From what I've read, mortgage deduction is not just for residence tax, but also for income tax… and that Rakuten simulator should not be used when you have a mortgage… Is there an easier tool to use for me to estimate this?
Thanks in advance for the help!
