How can I file a tax return if I received both W-2 and 1042-S as a resident alien? I was F-1 until last summer with a fellowship and have been an employee since then.

To clarify, what is the income code on your Form 1042-S?

Code 16 on Form 1042-S means scholarship or fellowship grants. You will treat it as receiving a scholarship or fellowship to offset your qualified education expenses if there are any. 

 

You will enter this in the education section as scholarship received:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on the "Search" on the top right and type “1098T”
  3. Click on “Jump to 1098T”
  4. TurboTax will walk you through the section
