I updated to resident-alien status late and only got 1042-S. Can I use it plus my other statements to report interest, dividends, capital gains/losses, and related items?

To clarify, what was reported on the 1042-S?

Thank you for your prompt reply.

The Form 1042-S I received is from my brokerage. My tax status changed from nonresident alien to resident alien during the 2025 tax year, but the broker was unable to issue a Form 1099 for me. Instead, they issued a Form 1042-S.

On the 1042-S, I see information such as gross income, tax rate, and federal tax withheld. In addition, I have:
1. an annual transaction history showing the cost basis, proceeds, and capital gain and loss for each stock trade I made, 
2. a spreadsheet listing all dividends and interest received from this account.


I did not hold any bonds, Treasury bills, or other types of financial assets in this account.

Would these documents be sufficient to use when reporting my investment income for tax filing?

Thank you for your help!

Yes, the information on the spreadsheets should give you enough information to report your investment income for the year. From here, you can create a 1099 INT, 1099 DIV, and report your stock sales. If you are prompted to provide an EIN, look on Box 16B on the 1042-S for the payer's TIN.
