[Non-resident alien] Received 1099-Div instead of 1042-S
Since I was a non-resident in 2022 for the purposes of taxation (My address was updated to a Foreign (India) address back in 2021), I thought my brokerage firm (Fidelity) would report the income through dividends (ordinary and qualified), total capital gains distributions, interests etc in a 1042-S form instead of in 1099-XXX forms.
However Fidelity is saying that the 1099-div/int is the correct way of reporting the income info even though they are leaving the state info (state name, state ID, state tax withheld) as blank in the form.
Now while trying to enter this data on SprintTax, I'm not able to proceed as the state info, in my case, is missing in the Fidelity provided 1099, and there's no way to circumvent this.
Should I just enter this 1099-Div data as a 1042-S on SprintTax, carefully mapping the fields from the former to the latter? If so, how?
