Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@anna38 , going through all of the above, I suspect that  based on the bank's understanding  of your situation ( and probably not being aware of the Green Card having been issued), there was a "presumption" that you  have become a "Non-US person " and hence the issuance of the 1042-S.   The facts and circumstances  ( based  on above ) suggest  otherwise  but that is of no help in your  situation.  

1. So , absent  a statement by you to the US authorities  that you have abandoned the residency  ( or violating the required  visit to the US rules) , you are treated as a  resident alien.

2. The above means that you file a form 1040 and be taxed by the USA on your world income henceforth

3. This also means that you essentially have to create an alternate/dummy  1099-R for withdrawing your  pension/401(k) etc. , pay the usual tax AND also the 10% penalty for early withdrawal  ( I think this is suspended  for 2020 because of the  pandemic -- I/you  have to look this up ).

4. Even if  you have absolutely decided  to NOT ever be a resident of the USA, you should visit the US Embassy/Consulate  in London  and clarify your options regarding this.

Is there more I can do for you ?

 

Cheers
