Because the 1042S is a Non-Resident Alien form, the form itself is not supported. It is entered as Other Reportable income if this was income received while you were a RESIDENT ALIEN. This means, code 19 is not really relevant since as a resident alien you are subject to taxation the same as a US Citizen, so you do not need to mail it directly to the IRS for any sort of special tax treatment.
If this was for income received prior to becoming a resident alien, then you may need to report it on your 1040NR if you are filing as a Dual Status Alien for the year.
@cecilia08901 , I don't know if you still need help on this. I agree with my colleague @Vanessa A that 1042-S needs to be recognized and generally with an eye to when your residency began.
What we need is to understand how you became a resident for tax purposes . I ask this because your residency is generally determined by passing SPT ( Substantial Presence Test ). Once you pass the SPT, you are resident for the calendar year. While the end of the year ( 12/31/XXXX) is fixed , the start of the year depends on your first day of presence in the country taking into account your visa status. See this :
