Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You received a Form 1042-S because you were still considered as a nonresident for immigration purposes. They use the form to report any non-resident alien wages and tax withholdings. As a resident alien for tax purposes, you file your taxes like a U.S. citizen using Form 1040. You will report income from tax forms including W-2, 1099s and 1042-S on the appropriate line of Form 1040 when you file your federal tax return.
You will enter this transaction as if you received a 1099-DIV.
Here are the steps:
In TurboTax online,
- Sign in to your account, select Pick up where you left off
- At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in 1099div and Enter
- Select Jump to 1099div
- Follow prompts
If you are referring to box 10 on the Form 1042S, read here:
Enter in Box 10 the combined amounts reported in Box 7a (federal tax withheld), Box 8 (tax withheld by other agents), and Box 9 (over withheld tax repaid to recipient pursuant to adjustment procedures).
Example.
If the box 7a amount is $600, the box 8 amount is $120, and the box 9 amount is ($50), the box 10 amount will equal $670. To see IRS instructions, click here: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1042s#idm139964838715504 ( Search Box 10)
So, if you have your federal income tax withholding in box 7a on 1042-S, you will enter it in box 4 on the 1099-DIV replica screen.
