Hi. Anybody knows how to declare a 1042 S form?

@gustavo-wolf2820 , are you a US person ( citizen/GreenCard/Resident for Tax purposes )?  or still NRA?

I ask because , if you have transitioned to a Resident for Tax purposes then the issuer should have used a form other than 1042-S. 

If you are still NRA, then you report the 1042-S  contents , box by box  on form 1040-NR  ( not supported by  TurboTax , use SprinTax or similar service or a tax professional).

If you are a Resident for Tax purposes then you have to map the numbers from 1042-S to equivalent boxes on a W-2 or 1099- NEC/MISC/INT/DIV etc.

Please tell more about your own immigration/Tax status and the type of income shown on 1042-S.   And surely one of us can help you file your return.
