1042-S resident alien

[xzlyx]

Hello,

This is my 7th year on F-1 visa and I received both W-2 and 1042-S for the year 2021. How should I deal with 1042-S for tax return via Turbotax?

Here are some number on my 1042-S

Income code 20

Gross income 5000

Chapter indicator 3

Exemption code 04

Tax rate 0

Federal tax withheld  0

Thank you.

Do you file as a Resident Alien or Nonresident  Alien?  Thanks!  @xzlyx

Resident Alien, as I passed the substantial presence test.

To clarify, is the income reported on the 1042S the same as income reported on the W2?

[xzlyx]

Not same. The income reported on the 1042S is not included in W2.

Since it was not included in your W2, you will report the 1042S separately as Other Reportable income.  To do this select the following:

• Federal
• Income and Expenses
• Scroll down to Less Common Income and click Show More
• Start next to Miscellaneous Income
• Start next to Other Reportable Income
• Answer Yes, then enter description and amount

This will put it on line 8z of your schedule 1 as other income.
