Applications and Tax Forms

Applications for employment have been completed! It was a surprisingly simple process after the JET application. I actually referenced a lot of my answers there to complete this one, which saved me a lot of hair-pulling.

On top of the application, I also received helpful information regarding income tax. I'm... still deciphering it, but here are the links I was given, which may be of help to others!

The gist of it is that you need to fill in form 8802 in order to get form 6166. And then... you won't be double-taxed (I think).

In other news, I will be having lunch with the other selected ALT this Thursday. Perhaps we can brainstorm and figure out answers to some of questions. Or at least come up with a list of things we really need to know to ask the committee head next Tuesday.
