tax withheld by usa working in uk (form 1042-s and form 1099)
user
why was i sent both 1042-s and 1099. which amount is the right amount that has been withheld. generally, each tax form you get will be about a separate income; for instance, you might get a 1099-div for dividends you earned from an investment and then a 1099-b for the profit or loss on selling that investment, in which case you'd report them both to the irs. in this case, you've also had money withheld as a non-resident alien, which is why you've been issued a 1042-s. so you need to report both amounts to the irs.
