I am a resident alien and received 1042-S form (income code 16) for fellowship from my university.
Should I add fellowship tax that I paid on [Other Income Taxes -- Federal Withholdings] and add fellowship income on [Scholarships/Grants], and file electronically?
Then, should I file 1042-S on paper separately?
If you are a US resident, by receiving a Form 1042- S with the code 16, you will treat it as receiving a scholarship or fellowship to offset your qualified education expenses if there are any. Per IRS, you are required to file a Form 1040 to report your scholarship amount along with your tuition. If you have paid any qualified tuition expenses out of pocket or with scholarship, you would enter information by following the steps below. As IRS receives a copy of your Form 1042-S, you can e-file your tax return. You do not need to submit your Form 1042-S separately.

Can we still e-file for year 2018 if we received a 1042s? or do we need to file on paper?
Where should I enter Total withholding credit (combine boxes 7a, 8, and 9)?
This is the correct article for entering the 1042S withholding - do not enter as "Estimated Payments" <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4309092-apart-from-w-2-i-received-1042-s-income-code-16-what-am-i-supposed-to-do-with-this-form-box-7-and-10-includes-amount-of-money-withheld">https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/4309092-apart-from-w-2-i-received-1042-s-income-code-16-what-am-i-supposed-to-do-with-this-form-box-7-and-10-includes-amount-of-money-withheld</a>
Hi, the link doesn't work. could you send a new link? THank you!
I'm trying to follow this advice for my 2022 return (I had filed an extension in April). However, I'm not able to find the "Estimates paid" section from the search bar.
To enter Federal or State Estimated Taxes Paid, including a state estimated payment made in January for the prior year, go to
Federal on left or at top (Personal for Home & Business)
Deductions and Credits at top
Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Estimated Taxes - click the start button
Or are you looking for an extension payment?
To enter the amount you paid with an extension (including state extension) go to
Federal Taxes (or Personal for desktop H&B version)
Deductions and Credits
Then scroll way down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Other Income Taxes - Click the Start or Update button
Next page second section Payments with Extension
Either Visit All or Click Start or Update by the extension you paid
