 |
|
For those of you working on an F-2 and working more than one job, I have a few questions:
The hagwon I'm working my 2nd job at wants me to pay tax. I'm fine with that, but I fear that my main job will find out about my 2nd job at tax time when they figure my tax at the central office (last year the tax people in our school office asked me if I had any additional income to report on the tax form). How can I legally pay taxes and keep my first school from finding out? I'd like to get the refund, but not if it means my first job finding out about it.
Second question, do you have to report you're 2nd job location to immigration? |

Second question first. As an F-2 visa holder, you don't have to report anything job-related to immigration. (You may have to supply them with a certificate of employment to show financial capacity when you initially apply for the visa, but now that you've got your F-2 they don't care where you work.)
As for the tax question, you'll have to wait for someone with more knowledge than me about that particular issue. I can say however, when I went to the tax office to get tax records of all of my past employment in Korea, they had no record whatsoever of any of my three years of employment in the hagwon industry. My Korean isn't quite good enough to understand exactly what he said, but from what I gather it was because my taxes were part of the corporate tax structure of the business rather than personal, individual income taxes (as they are now that I work in a public school). I'm only on the National Tax Service's radar now that I'm in a public institution. (All that being said, it's possible that my previous hagwon bosses simply didn't register me with the tax office and kept the taxes for themselves.) |
