How did you handle it in years past? Was it all taxable when you filed 1040-NR? It was be that same for the 1040.
Code 16 means "Scholarship or Fellowship"
You should ask the school or the employer's payroll department what it is.
I would GUESS that it is a fully taxable Fellowship since you also received a W-2.
I suggest you enter the amount as other income as described.
Next, enter the tax withheld:
Click Federal
Click Deductions & Credits
Scroll down to "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid" and click Show more
Scroll down to "Income Taxes Paid" and click Start
Answer "Yes"
Scroll down to "Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099" under "Other Income Taxes Paid in 2019"
At this point, you would be fine declaring the income and reporting the tax. You do not need to do anything more UNLESS you think it may be tax-free.
Inquire with the school to find out if this was used to pay for tuition or if you received these funds as a Fellowship, OR if the 1042-S reports the amount of your scholarship that was MORE than the tuition.
If it paid tuition, that amount would not be taxed.
