I am on F1 visa since 2015. In 2020, I meet the substantial presence test and become resident alien. I am full time employed and have a w2. However, I received 1042s form with 3000 income ( treaty benefit US and egypt , article 23(1), saving clause 6(3), saving clause exception 6(4)). Does that affect my residency for tax purposes? I still want to file as resident alien to benefit from the standard deduction and I do not care that much about the tax treaty benefit. Can I just add the 3000 income on the 1042s as other income and do not claim any benefit in order to be able to e file as resident alien? I also have medicare taxes and fica replacement plan deducted from my paycheck, do i need to pay anything else if i am resident alien?
Thank you so much in advance and really appreciate your response!
