it depends. Did you have income reported on a W2 but no income tax withheld reported in Box 2?  Was this from earned income or income earned from things like interest and dividends?

I do not have a W2. I get income as a Research Fellow through a 1042-s, this is taxable income. I am a foreign nonresident alien but I am a resident for tax purposes ( given my presence lenght). It's income earned through a stipend not dividends. I get a 1042-s form.

You would enter this as other income on your return and then claim the tax withheld on the return.

 

  1. Open your return in TurboTax 
  2. Click on Wages & Income 
  3. Scroll down to All Income 
  4. Scroll down to Less Common Income 
  5. Scroll down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C 
  6. Click start 
  7. Scroll down to Other reportable income 
  8. Enter description and amount  as 1042S and the amount.

   

 To reclaim 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
