Two 1042-S forms and Bangladesh-US tax treaty

I am an international student from Bangladesh. I have been in the US since 2014 on an F-1 visa. Since I am a resident alien for tax purposes, using TurboTax is one of the only options available to me. So far, I am having a lot of trouble with filing through TurboTax.

It doesn’t allow 1042-S. Bangladesh has a tax treaty with the US. How do I input that information?

To make matters worse, I have changed universities. I held a GA position in both universities and as such, had incomes from two different universities during 2019. So, I have two different 1042-S.

I am utterly confused. Why must this be so difficult?

The 1042S is not supported so you have to enter the parts separately. The good news, you can add them together for one entry.

For the income:

Go to federal
to Income and Credits
to last section, Less Common Income
bottom selection, Miscellaneous Income
Start
bottom selection, Other Reportable Income
Start
Any Other Taxable Income?
Yes
1042S income and enter the total of the 2 forms.
Continue
Click the blue Add Another Income Item on the left
Enter Bangladesh Treaty and the amount as a negative dollar
Continue

If you have other information on the 1042S, it will need to be captured in the sections that match it in similar fashion.
