Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi, Lena. I do have Form 1042-S with income code 16, but I'm not a student but a postdoc fellow at NIH, receiving "wage" for my work. I don't have any education expense to off-set. I'm also considered resident alien for tax purposes and am not claiming any tax treaty benefits. 

 

I was suggested by another person to report my 1042-S under "other reportable income."

 

What is more appropriate approach here, treat it as 1098 or report it as other reportable income?
