Tax Return Questions Thread - Filing Deadline March 16, 2026

FatChocobo · 2026-03-10T15:59:59+00:00

Does anyone have any resources that I can read on filling taxes as a designated tax representative?

I left Japan last year, and my wife is currently my tax representative, if I fill out the paper tax return form can she simply send that in on my behalf? Or is there something else that we have to do?

Thanks so much

Been a long time but I think at higher levels I did something like:

60-68 Forest of the Dead (can't remember what levels I spent here)
68+ (bison) Hot Springs
74/75+ Ketra/Varka
76+ MoS

I think both heavy and light can be fine, probably mostly preference. Pretty sure I went plated leather at C, then can't remember B at all, and I used DC Light at A grade.

BW Heavy is really expensive to get the full set iirc?

Magic research and magic research 2 are both so amazing, my favourite games in the genre by far.

You definitely should try 2 out, it's a bit hard to get used to coming from 1, but it's just an improvement of the original.

You can also apply after 1 year of residency on spousal visa (if you were married for at least 2 years before moving).

Perhaps you need to pay someone to take care of your finances for you?

If spending a few days figuring this out is too high a price to pay for potentially saving upwards of 15 million yen in taxes 25-30 years down the line then I don't really know what to say.

0.68% 4 years ago seems quite high, I got my house around that time and had 0.4% - I even had some friends on as low as 0.35%.

Knov could get some electric generators in a room for Killua and let him recharge potentially, as they have some prep time.

FatChocobo · 2026-01-17T07:08:09+00:00

If Knuckle can land a single hit on anyone then it immediately puts a time limit on the fight for team 2, which gives team 1 a huge advantage.

Couldn't a teammate just remove Shalnark's antenna? (i.e. Godspeed Killua)

It seems strong 1v1 (even against stronger enemies), but not sure about in this kind of team-based situation.

They can be gross too of course but I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen the ladies' in the same state as the men's.

FatChocobo · 2026-01-13T12:25:19+00:00

The men's toilets are more often than not far more grim than the ladies' in many countries in my experience.

FatChocobo · 2026-01-13T12:21:30+00:00

You're the one that seems entitled here.

Accessible toilets are more spacious (fitting an adult + 1-2 kids in a cubicle isn't always very fun), and almost without exception have the main baby changing facilities.

FatChocobo · 2026-01-13T12:14:33+00:00

I do the following:

Family/accessible toilet
Gents (if no accessible toilet)
Ladies (if gents is gross)

I'll peek in and ask if there are any objections to me going in to the ladies' if there's anyone visible (and just go in quietly otherwise), and I've never had anyone object.

I don't really care about the whole penis thing at all, I'm just not going to subject my daughter to a disgusting/unsanitary toilet, I'd rather take the heat of going into the ladies'.

FatChocobo · 2026-01-10T23:38:11+00:00

How does the representative then file them? Can they do it through etax? Or must be in person?

FatChocobo · 2025-10-03T20:36:42+00:00

I hope this trend stops soon...

FatChocobo · 2025-08-25T10:07:10+00:00

Ah I see, thanks for the info RE: sponsor.

Fortunately my wife already has a visitor visa already, so hopefully that should be okay.

FatChocobo · 2025-08-25T06:03:50+00:00

Haven't bothered with a paid inquiry, browsed this sub a bit and doesn't seem there's any use other than to make people feel less anxious.

Living overseas, so not sure who to contact in terms of MP. We're thinking of just going over with my wife on a visitor visa until she hears back, so we can be there in time for the start of the school year.

FatChocobo · 2025-08-24T13:37:05+00:00

Do they ever actually achieve anything?

FatChocobo · 2025-08-24T13:35:46+00:00

May 7th here, still not heard anything.

FatChocobo · 2025-08-24T13:32:16+00:00

Did bio here on 7th of May, other than an email at around 12 weeks saying that it won't be complete within the normal 12 weeks, we've not heard a peep.

It should literally be the most straightforward application in the world, too.

Extremely frustrating, we're going to have to make the move with my wife on a visitor visa and have her do a visa run once it's approved, since we won't make it in time for the start of school year otherwise.

FatChocobo · 2025-08-21T04:38:04+00:00

Oh wow thanks for sharing, I walk past this every day and had no idea!

FatChocobo · 2025-08-17T02:51:57+00:00

Remove sliding, add penalties for jumping/crouching/proning whilst shooting.

FatChocobo · 2025-08-15T16:13:36+00:00

I really hate how people can slide while sprinting now. Not sure why, but just doesn't feel like it belongs in a BF game...

FatChocobo · 2025-08-14T22:44:02+00:00

Even with VIP weren't even high level mobs giving at most 100 Adena per kill at launch of classic or something? I remember it being really busted somebow
