  • • Do you need to file a tax return?

  • US Residents must file an income tax return if your net earnings from self-employment (i.e. earnings from Cafetalk) was more than $400 (under certain circumstances you may need to file one even if your earnings are less). To find out exactly whether or not you need to file taxes you can visit 1040 Central - the centralized one-stop-shop for tax filing in the United States. One of the first resources you can resort to is the Interactive Tax Assistant. Just give it a question and it will help you answer.

  • • What can you deduct?

  • When you file a tax return you can deduct the cost of expenses necessary for you to run your business. In case of teaching online these are things like your laptop, headset and internet connection. You may even be able to deduct part of your mortgage or rent if you use teach from your home. Details can be found Deducting Business Expenses page on the IRS site.


  • • 海外在住の場合の申告

  • 納税義務は、居住地での滞在日数や生活の本拠などから「居住者」「非居住者」のどちらに判断されるかで異なります。 非居住者の方がMeeCooで収益が発生した際には、基本的には日本での納税義務は生じず現地国の税法に準じることとなります。 例) 海外旅行や短期の留学などで海外に住んでいる方(非居住者には該当しないと考えられますので、日本にて課税される可能性があります。)
