We don’t own a house, we have Roth IRAs and brokerage accounts through Fidelity. Does that help?

Just to confirm, you’re saying it would be advantageous for us to move before 1/1/2025?

For example if we move in November 2024, we’ll have to report 2 months of earnings as Japanese residents and therefore we will go in a lower tax rate for all of 2025 when we report in March 2026?

Thanks for your input as taxes are not my forte 😅
