How should I file? -- 1042-S for a resident alien (F-1 visa), Exceeding $2,000

Hi, I am a resident alien with F-1 visa, and received 1042-S form from my university, showing the income I made while working on campus. How should I file it in Turbotax if the Gross Income exceeds $2,000? Thanks!

Same situation here, what should I do with the 1042-Form? Do I need to file anything by mail?
