Received 1042-S instead of 1099

Hi, 

 

I am an international student on F1 status and pass the substantial presence test for tax year 2023. However, my brokerage account (Robinhood) has sent me a 1042-S instead of 1099s. Now, how should I go about reporting both my dividends as well as my Capital Gains (have made some stock sales). Just an FYI the 1042-S is of income code 6 and has non-zero numbers in boxes 2 and 7a. 

 

Thanks!
