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.)
