Resident Alien received 1042-s

Hello,

 

I have been in the States for 10 years. Last year I worked as a grader at my university. They asked me to sign the tax treaty agreement beforehand. I received 1042s and code is 16 with "0" tax rate in box 3 and 4; no withholdings. I always file 1040 as a resident alien. How am I suppose to report this on my tax return or can I just ignore it since this information return was already reported to the IRS and amount is less than $5,000 with no withholding? If I have to report this on my tax return, how do I report using TurboTax? 

 

Thank you,

 

Bryan

    To clarify, did you say tis income is already reported in your return?

    No, I haven’t filed my taxes yet. I meant the university may have already reported this 1042s to IRS.

    You will still need to report this income.  In this case it just means that the university didn't withhold any taxes from the $5000 that they paid you.  It does not mean that it is not taxable.
