If I have a Certificate of Deposit (CD) at a US bank and am a US citizen, but live in Japan (tax-resident), do I need to report the gained interest (likely a couple hundred USD) to the Japanese NTA when filing my taxes at the end of the year? The money would stay in the US bank when the CD matures (not be transferred to Japan).
If I need to report, how would I report this on my Kakutei Shinkoku (which I am required to do for my Japanese income)? Also, how would the value be calculated in JPY? Would I use the exchange rate when the CD is matured and funds withdrawn into a US savings account. Would I end up being taxed by the US and Japan on the interest gains?
