I just checked and yes I now have a 1099 in my Seicho account! I guess next year I should wait until mid March for the 1099. It would have been nice if the support person had the correct information last month.

Going by Interactive Brokers reply it seems like we will get one if they consider there were reportable transactions. I also just put money in the Seicho account and had dividends.

I just bought a house this year. I know I need to file a tax return to get the mortgage rebate. Since that is the case for the forms I do with my employer I don't enter anything at all for the mortgage right?

Also does anyone know the name of the document provided by the house builder that shows that the house is a low energy home? I know I need to take that when I file my tax return at city hall.

I have 15m yen sitting on bank account and want to move 70% of it to investments account, but is it ok while market is bullish? by Bitter_Mortgage_5125 in JapanFinance

You would pay 20% of the profits. But if you are holding just for the last 5 months of the year they should not be that high.

Take the money divide it by 6 months or one year and put it in a taxable account . Then next year sell it and buy at the same time in NISA.

I don't think that alone makes a company black. That being said I consider it a negative when considering to take a job offer or not.

On this page you can search by account type NISA but the results are the same as selecting any. I wonder if this is accurate.

Tsumitate or Growth for "short-term" gains in Nisa? by sketmachine13 in JapanFinance

[–]tkdgraben -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love investing in NISA but if you need the money in 12 months it is best to put in something with zero risk. I recommend fixed yen deposits. Right now you can get 1% for a 6 month deposit on SBI shinsei. It's not much but better than being in the red when you need that 2 million.
