Tax season in Japan is already finished, but in America, there are about two weeks left – the time when the procrastinators like me are starting to panic. The deadline in the U.S. this year is April 18.

Actually, many Americans living abroad don’t owe any taxes, but we’re still supposed to report our income to the U.S. government. So I have to do taxes for Japan AND the U.S. every year. It’s not a fun process. Fortunately, e-filing is smoother than it was five or ten years ago.

If you think this all sounds boring, you’re right. It’s very boring. I’m trying to finish mine tomorrow…wish me luck!
