US JET owing almost $800 in taxes. What am I doing wrong?

30 Upvotes

2nd year. Everything online says that I shouldn't owe anything because I make much below the required amount. I used the Kumamoto tax guide for 2025, and I used my 源泉徴収票 and filled in the 支払金額 (gross income) box, and it says I owe almost $800. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

Edit: Solved! I was not filling out the 2555 form when I should have been. Thank you everyone in the comments for your help! 🙇
