How to file form 1042-S in married jointly tax return (J1 visa, nonstudent)?

To whom it may concern,

My wife and I are filling out our taxes on TurboTax. We are Postdoc with J1 visa. My wife has been worked in the US for 3 years and she is a resident alien. I just arrived around 7 months with a one-year fellowship, so I am still at non-resident status. I am filing our taxes as married jointly, but I am not sure how to proceed with my 1042-S form (The income code is 16 & exemption code is 15). 

Following previous Q&A, 

1) We are filling my 1042-S information in the 1098-T form (Scholarships and Grants). 

2) Type the tax withholdings information in estimates paid. 

3) Attach form 1042-S in our tax return by mail. 

 

Is that correct? 

Thank you so much for any suggestion or advice.
