I am an international scholar under H1B visa here. I am exempted to pay tax due to tax treaty between Germany and US and I have a 1042-S form. I arrived in the US in September 2015 and stayed here for the entire 2016. I wonder how I should fill out my tax return. Thank a lot!

My income code is 19 and the taxes are withheld.

First, the treaty for scholars does not apply to H1B holders.

Second, since you do meet the substantial presence test for 2016, you are a resident alien. You would enter th 1042s based on the income code in box 1. What is the income code? And were taxes withheld?

My income code is 19. Yes, the taxes are withheld.
