I hold O1 visa and qualify as a resident for tax purposes. However, I received 1042-S. My income code is 42. How can I file my tax return in Turbotax?

Did you work as an independent contractor or employee?

I worked as a fashion model and got paid through my agency per project. Appreciate further guidance.

Did you receive any tax documents like Form W-2 or 1099MISC?

[mehmetserek]

Unfortunately no. I only received 1042-S and try to understand how can I use it for my tax filing.
