I am an international student who qualifies as a resident for tax purposes, but received 1042-s, and I am wondering how should I report that amount using Turbotax as I don't see 1042-s as one of the forms that I can fill out? Thanks!

Yes, here is how to file a 1042-S using Turbo Tax.

Log into your account
Select Wages and income>
Less Common income
Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099>start
Scroll to the bottom of the page to Other Reportable Income
Other taxable income, answer yes
Then give a brief description of the income and the amount listed. Here describe this as 1042-S and then the amount.

If withholding tax was paid with the 1042-s, here is how to report.

Go to Federal
Deductions and Credits
Estimates and Other Taxes Paid
Other Income Taxes
Other income Taxes paid in 2023
Withholding not already entered on a W2 or 1099.

I had exactly the same issue, but after I filed my 1042-S income as miscellaneous income, since I'm under 24, TurboTax thinks it's unearned income for children and is asking me to fill out the forms proving my parents are deceased or filing separately... Is there a way around that?
