As LinaJ previously responded to a similar question:
If you are a US resident, by receiving a Form 1042- S with the code 16, you will treat it as receiving a scholarship or fellowship to offset your qualified education expenses if there are any. Per IRS, you are required to file a Form 1040 to report your scholarship amount along with your tuition. If you have paid any qualified tuition expenses out of pocket or with scholarship, you would enter information by following the steps below. As IRS receives a copy of your Form 1042-S, you can e-file your tax return. You do not need to submit your Form 1042-S separately.
