Friday, Momoko and Jaime's Apartment, San Antonio New Earth
"That much?!" Momoko set her W-2s next to her 1099 from Oracle and sighed, scrolling down the IRS webpage. "Okay. 'Notice 2005-77 provides that a nonresident alien whose only U.S. source income is wages is not required to file a U.S. federal income tax return'," she read from the federal website, "'unless his U.S. source wages exceed the personal exemption amount.' How do I know what that is?"
She scrolled again, reading silently until: "Ah! Here it is... Publication 501. 501? Do I have that..."
A few minutes of searching her pile of tax booklets revealed a very definite NO. So she turned back to the internet with a determined frown. She would figure this out if she had to stay up all night!!
... And /then/ she'd call the naturalization office again about her application for Change of Status. She was getting nervous about it; the last request for additional information had been over a month ago!
She glanced a second at her phone and then reached for it. She had messages!!
"Ah." Not immigration, just Doctor Lec... "!!! I TOTALLY DO!! What has Jono been telling him?!"
[open for more calls - misdirected or not, texts, emails, and, of course, the boyfriend what lives there.]
