Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Based on what you have told me, this form does not need to be reported. According to this Turbo Tax post written by Daniel G:

  1. Sometimes, this form is mailed out strictly for informational purposes and therefore does not need to be included on your return. This is often the case when Resident Aliens receive this form. 
  2. The significant items  on the 1042-S form are Box 7 and Box 10. Box 7 is US Federal Tax Withheld and Box 10 is Withholding Credit. If both of those boxes are 0, then nothing was withheld and there is no withholding credit and the 1042-S form is just for your informational purposes. 

Please refer to the IRS link for further information.  https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1042s.pdf
