Hello,
I have a few questions about my situation. As you know you need to file it as soon as possible. Could you please answer these questions?
I have received W-2 and 1042-S (income code: 20) form.
On the 1042-S form, there is only income gross, and there is No tax withheld (box 7 and 10 are 0). And the amount is $2000 and I think this is from the tax treaty that I got last year. I am NOT claiming Tax-treaty. I have done the tax treaty last year and I want to know if I should put this information when I am filing tax.
1. When box 7 and 10 are 0, I don't need to report the 1042-S form?

2. I found I need to put gross income on 1042-s form as 'Other Income' so should I?

3. But some of them said you should report the amount of income (exemption) as a negative.

4. And also I found a post saying that you should put the both of information. Other income as a positive amount and Tax-treaty as a negative amount.

I am really struggling with many different ideas. Please make it clear for me.
