@DaveF1006 Appreciate your advice. Yes, the amount of my 1042S is just $5000. I tried the procedure but met a problem. Because the amount of my 1042S is not included in my W2, if I put a negative value (-$5000) in the other income (1040, Line 15, and Schedule 1, Line 8z), the total taxable income (1040, Line 15) will be wrong (smaller than the real one).
I find some answers say that a positve $5000 can be added to "Other Reportable Income" and subsequently a negative -$5000 can be added to "Other Reportable Income". In these methods, the total taxable income (1040, Line 15) will be correct. However, the final values of other income (1040, Line 15) probably will be $0 becasue there is only one line for that, which cannot reflect either the 1042S income or the tax treaty in1040 finally.
Thus, my question is whether Schedule 1, Line 8z will list these two other incomes separately and gives $0 as the amount if I put both "-$5000" and "$5000" into the "Other Reportable Income"? Are these methods correct? If not, are there other ways to report this weird situation?
Thank you!
