Hi Atlanta Tax Expert,

I was student in US since 2000 and in the middle of 2005 (end of Jun) I passed the substantial presence. I graduated by october and since then I am on H1-B. My wife is an international student holding F-1 visa but she does not pass the substantial presence criterion. I had three sources of income in 2005

1. A fellowship from my school that I got 1042-s for it.
2. assistantship from school that I got W2 from for it. School started taking
SS and Medicare when I passed the substantial presence test in Jun.
3. I got a W2 form from my Job.

My wife also had assitantship during last year.
Based on what I read I can either file as a dual-status or I can file jointly as resident alien with my wife.

My question is that if I file 1040, where should I report my 1042-s and its withholding?

Thank you,
