Hello! I am a nonresident alien working remotely from Japan for US employers, paid by US dollars.  Both of my employers do not deduct tax because I live abroad.  Which tax document do I need to fill to "file tax" for me? Thanks. (I am not a US citizen, to be clear.)

    As a non-resident alien with income from a US company. As you are not performing the services in the U.S., it is not taxable to the U.S. and no forms are required. Here is a link to an article with additional information:  https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/nonresident-aliens-source-of-income
