Nonresident alien working remotely for US employers, tax not deducted

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.
