@AmyC What I don't see very clear here is how do I enter the tax I got withheld in my 1042s. If I only enter the income amount, obviously my tax return goes down, which is not correct because I already paid taxes for that income. Thanks!

Here is how to enter tyour 1042-S

• Federal
• Wages and Income
• Less Common Income
• Miscellaneous income, 1099-A, 1099-C  
• Other Reportable Income
• First enter the 1042-S with the amount of the income
• Then enter it again with the same income as a negative amount

That will report the income without incurring taxes on it.

Here is an example of how it will look:

But if part of this 1042-s income was withheld as tax, how do I make sure I get it back under the appropriate treaty? I had a similar situation during my second year of f1 visa and at that point I got the whole withheld amount back. But it seems to be trickier now that I am a resident alien for tax purposes.

Yes, to report your withholding tax reported on your 1042-S:

1. Go to federal>deductions and credits
2. Estimates and other Taxes Paid>other income taxes>start
3. Scroll down to other income taxes paid in 2022
4. Withholding not already reported on a W2 or 1099

Great, this seems to have worked. Thanks a lot.
