1042-S for resident for tax purpose

Dear TT community,

I am a researcher that left the US during last August (after spending 2 years in Atlanta starting in November 2022), I'm trying to fill my tax for 2024 but I'm now considered as a US resident for tax purpose (even if I don't live in the US anymore), so I can't use sprintax anymore.

I can't find where to report my 1042-S and especially how to not get taxed on the gross income stated on the 1042-S as the 1042-S states that the french-usa treaty exempt me from federal and state taxes (which was the case in 2023).

Thanks you in advance for your help, 
Best, 
Corentin

    Yes, to report the 1042-S income, go to:

     

    1. Go to Wages and Income
    2. Less Common income
    3. Miscellaneous Income
    4. Other income not Reported on a W2 or 1099 
    5. Scroll through the screens and you will finally reach a screen that says employee compensation not reported on a W2 and select that.
    6. Then you will enter the amount that is recorded on the 1042-S.

    You were not in the exempt period in 2024, so you cannot claim treaty benefits for 2024.  You are subject to income and FICA taxes for 2024.
