I agree that entering the information on a 1099 form would probably work. The first part of your question says you are a nonresident, but later you say you are resident for tax purposes. I will assume your first statement really meant you are not a US citizen (which the tax code calls an alien). A Form 1042-S should be issued only to a "foreign person." A resident is not a foreign person. You probably should have submitted a Form W-9 to the payer of the dividend, so they could issue you a Form 1099-DIV rather than Form 1042-S. The Form W-9 would include your Social Security Number, if you have one, or your Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).
