TurboTax does not support the 1042S. If the entire distribution was from an education account, and you used it all for qualifying education expenses, you do not need to enter it, just keep a copy of the 1042S, as well as receipts for the education expenses paid, with your tax file. Do not use the education expenses applied to the distribution for an education credit.
If you did not use the distributions for education expenses, you can enter the transactions as a 1099-Q, but you will need to know the earnings and basis of the distribution. If it is not listed on the 1042s, you will need to get those numbers from Vanguard.
If tax was withheld, report that as "Other Taxes Paid"
