I’ve seen a number of posts about this topic, but wanted to post my specific situation to cover my bases.
So, I currently work in Japan on an instructor visa as an ALT. Once I’m married and have a spouse visa, I’m considering seeking remote employment for a US company to be paid in USD to my US bank account. It’d likely be around $40-50k/yr. Would this be possible without the company having to make some sort of special exception for me? If so, how would taxation work in this case? Saw some people mentioning deducting JP tax from US tax but wanted confirmation on that. Also saw people mentioning that I’d have to track how much JPY the USD was worth at the time of remittance, not sure if that’s true. I suspect they might have been talking about a much higher income bracket. Any advice would be appreciated!
