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.

Thanks so much, it is clear now.
I appreciate this help.

Agree!

The problem is that the amount in 1042-S may not be subjective to tax withholding, because of exempt treaty. In this case, which line in 1040A should I put the amount that is untaxable and the treaty code?

If you are filing as a resident, then the tax treaty exemption probably no longer applies, though that depends on the tax treaty.

If it applies use Form 8833. You will show the income on the 1040 but subtract it back out on other income.
