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!

You will report it under "Other Reportable Income" section in the TurboTax Deluxe online program.

 

  • After sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off
  • Top right corner / in the search box- type in " other reportable income" and Enter
  • On-screen, "Other Wages Received", answer Yes / continue to follow prompts
  • On-screen, "Any Other Earned Income", answer Yes 
  • On-screen, "Enter Source of Other Earned Income". answer Employee Compensation that was not reported on a W-2,  
  • Follow prompts to enter your information including uncollected FICA by the employer.

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