Just report it in the appropriate section -- for example, if it is for wages, put it on that line.

Thanks, but the 1040A doesn't have a box for 1042-S. Should I put it in line 7 like if it was for W-2?
Thanks again

Yes, that is what I am trying to say. If it is for wages, put it on the same line that W-2 wages would go on.
