I am a US resident tax filer but I received form 1042-S for 'deposit interest' from a US based bank. Where should I show this income on my tax return?

It is interest income on my deposit for which I was given form 1042-S instead of 1099-INT, may be due being non-US citizen. But I am a legal resident in the US as far as taxes are concerned.
