submitting 1042-s as Resident Alien

Hello,

I am a F1 student and have been identified by Springtax that I should file my tax as a Resident Alien, since I have been in the US over 5 years. I received my 1042-s (because US-China treaty), and exemption code is 04 and 16, income code is 20.  How could I include the 1042-S form or the information on this form when filing my tax as a Resident Alien? 

Thank you.
