I received 1042-s and my husband received w-2, can we file our tax jointly?

Both my husband and I are resident alien last year. I received scholarship last year and got an 1042-S form. My husband received W-2 form. Can we file our tax jointly? What forms should we fill out?

Thanks!

Yes you can still file your return jointly.TurboTax does not support Form 1042-S,you will need to enter all of the other forms and W-2s and e-file your tax return.

The good news is that you don't need to file From 1042-S with your tax return.Instead, download Form 1042-S from the IRS website, print it out, and then complete and mail it according to the1042-S instructions.
