How to file 1042-S

Hello, I am a Phd student and a resident alien. I got From1042-S from my school and I am not sure how to e-file it. I read that we should use the less common income. Does that mean fill in my gross income in From1042-S to the less common income and then fill another deduction for the amount under federal tax withheld?

I tried doing this but then suddenly I need to pay for more state tax which is confusing to me.
