I will start working in Japan in November. I am planning to send some money to my mom (widow) so she can live more comfortably. My mom is 70 years old this year and lives in Malaysia. Her monthly pension exceeded 480,000 yen per year (900k yen). I saw from the 2023 form that "Estimated income in 2023 indicates the estimated amount of income excluding retirement income.". Does it mean her income is below the 480,000 because she only has a pension and no other source of income? If I send her money, can I file for a tax deduction later on?
Even if I cannot apply for a deduction, I will still send her some money, but if there is a tax deduction, why not use it?
