Hello,
I am an international student, and I got into the USA in Dec 2020, and I haven't left since then. In the past, I filed my taxes with Sprintax as a nonresident alien, but this year I qualify to file as a resident alien. However, my school issues me a Form 1042-S with scholarship and fellowship payment and federal and state taxes withheld.
I am using TurboTax and I found a website that explains how to for 1042-S manually on Turbotax here:
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/how-to-report-1042-s/00/3319522
The step-by-step process is:
Open your return in TurboTax
Click on Wages & Income
Scroll down to All Income
Scroll down to Less Common Income
Scroll down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C
Click Start
Scroll down to Other reportable income
Answer yes and record this as 1042-S income and then the amount
Now to report the tax withheld:
With your return open
Click on Deductions & Credits
Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Click on Other Income Taxes
Scroll down to Other Income Taxes
Click on Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099
The problem I am facing is that, I have followed these steps and but in the State and Federal taxes withheld under (Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099) but I noticed that after I am done with federal tax and I move to the state tax section, there is another section called "Other Income Taxed by Indiana" asking me to put information about other income.
Should I put the income from my 1042-S here again? I noticed that when I enter that income, it significantly reduces my state return, in fact, I have to pay the state. There is also no place to enter the state tax withheld in this section. What should I do?
