Problem with entering State Tax withheld from 1042-S as a Resident Alien

[FOR_TAX]

Hello,

I am an international student, and I got into the USA in Dec 2020, and I haven't left since then. In the past, I filed my taxes with Sprintax as a nonresident alien, but this year I qualify to file as a resident alien. However, my school issues me a Form 1042-S with scholarship and fellowship payment and federal and state taxes withheld.

I am using TurboTax and I found a website that explains how to for 1042-S manually on Turbotax here:
https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/how-to-report-1042-s/00/3319522

The step-by-step process is:

1. Open your return in TurboTax

2. Click on Wages & Income

3. Scroll down to All Income

4. Scroll down to Less Common Income

5. Scroll down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C

6. Click Start

7. Scroll down to Other reportable income

8. Answer yes and record this as 1042-S income and then the amount

Now to report the tax withheld:

1. With your return open

2. Click on Deductions & Credits

3. Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid

4. Click on Other Income Taxes

5. Scroll down to Other Income Taxes

6. Click on Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099

The problem I am facing is that, I have followed these steps and but in the State and Federal taxes withheld under (Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099) but I noticed that after I am done with federal tax and I move to the state tax section, there is another section called "Other Income Taxed by Indiana" asking me to put information about other income.

Should I put the income from my 1042-S here again? I noticed that when I enter that income, it significantly reduces my state return, in fact, I have to pay the state. There is also no place to enter the state tax withheld in this section. What should I do?

If all your income was received while you were a resident in Indiana, all the income would be allocated to Indiana. 

In the screen you provide, you should enter the entire amount in the Indiana box. 

The State tax withheld is entered on the same screen that you used to enter the Federal tax withheld. 

All the tax is entered in the federal Section. 

• Federal Taxes
• Deductions & Credits
• Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
• Other Income Taxes   START or UPDATE
• Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099   START or UPDATE
• "Do you have any tax withholding you haven't entered yet?" 
• Yes
• Please look for "State withholdings" 
• Select the state from the drop-down
• Enter the amount 

The tax withholding flows to the state return in the TurboTax program.

Yes, I have put it under State withholdings. Why is it still asking me to put the tax amount under the state section without asking for tax wihtheld?

To clarify, where is that screen located? Is that in your W2 entry screen or in your Indiana state return.
