1042-T (draft ty 2 Annual Summary and Transmittal of Forms 1042-S

Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information as a courtesy. Do not file
draft forms. Also, do not rely on draft instructions and publications for
filing. We generally do not release drafts of forms until we believe we have
incorporated all changes. However, unexpected issues sometimes arise, or
legislation is passed, necessitating a change to a draft form. In addition,
forms generally are subject to OMB approval before they can be officially
released. Drafts of instructions and publications usually have at least some
changes before being officially released.
Early releases of draft forms and instructions are at IRS.gov/draftforms.
Please note that drafts may remain on IRS.gov even after the final release is
posted at IRS.gov/downloadforms, and thus may not be removed until there
is a new draft for the subsequent revision. All information about all revisions
of all forms, instructions, and publications is at IRS.gov/formspubs.
Almost every form and publication also has its own easily accessible
information page on IRS.gov. For example, the Form 1040 page is at
IRS.gov/form1040; the Form W-2 page is at IRS.gov/w2; the Publication 17
page is at IRS.gov/pub17; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/w4; the Form
8863 page is at IRS.gov/form8863; and the Schedule A (Form 1040) page is
at IRS.gov/schedulea. If typing in the links above instead of clicking on
them: type the link into the address bar of your browser, not in a Search box;
the text after the slash must be lowercase; and your browser may require the
link to begin with “www.”. Note that these are shortcut links that will
automatically go to the actual link for the page.
If you wish, you can submit comments about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications on the Comment on Tax Forms and Publications
page on IRS.gov. We cannot respond to all comments due to the high
volume we receive, but we will carefully consider each one. Please note that
we may not be able to consider many suggestions until the subsequent
revision of the product.

Title

Instructions
Purpose of form. Use this form to transmit paper Forms 1042-S,
Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding, to the
Internal Revenue Service. Use a separate Form 1042-T to transmit
each type of Form 1042-S (see the instructions for line 1a).
Electronic filing requirement. If you file 250 or more Forms 1042S, you are required to submit them electronically. If you submit less
than 250 Forms 1042-S, you are encouraged to file them
electronically. If you are a financial institution you are required to
submit Form 1042-S electronically irrespective of the number of
Forms 1042-S you submit. If you submit Forms 1042-S
electronically, do not use Form 1042-T. See the instructions for
Form 1042 for the definition of financial institution.
Filing Forms 1042 and 1042-S. Use of this form to transmit paper
Forms 1042-S does not affect your obligation to file Form 1042,
Annual Withholding Tax Return for U.S. Source Income of Foreign
Persons.
If you have not yet filed a Form 1042 for 2015, you may send in
more than one Form 1042-T to submit paper Forms 1042-S prior to
filing your Form 1042. You may submit amended Forms 1042-S
even though changes reflect differences in gross income and tax
withheld information of Forms 1042-S previously submitted with a
Form 1042-T.
If you have already filed a Form 1042 for 2015 and an attached
Form 1042-S caused the gross income or tax withheld information
previously reported on line 62c or 63e of your Form 1042 to change,
you must file an amended Form 1042.
Where and when to file. File Form 1042-T (and Copy A of the
paper Forms 1042-S being transmitted) with the Ogden Service
Center; P.O. Box 409101; Ogden, UT 84409; by March 15, 2016.
Send the forms in a flat mailing (not folded).

Identifying information at top of form. The name, address, EIN,
and chapter 4 and 3 status codes of the withholding agent named
on this form must be the same as those you enter on Forms 1042
and 1042-S. See the instructions for Form 1042 for definitions of
withholding agent. See the instructions for Form 1042-S for the
withholding agent codes for the chapter 3 and 4 status codes. See
instructions for Form 1042-S for the definition of withholdable
payment to determine when a chapter 4 status code is required.
Line 1a. You must file a separate Form 1042-T for each type of
paper Form 1042-S you are transmitting. Check only the Original or
Amended box. If you are filing pro-rata Forms 1042-S (see Form
1042-S instructions), also check the pro-rata box. As a result, there
are four possible types of Form 1042-S that may be transmitted:
• Original non pro-rata
• Original pro-rata
• Amended non pro-rata

• Amended pro-rata

Each type must be transmitted with a separate Form 1042-T. For
example, you must transmit only original non pro-rata Forms 1042S with one Form 1042-T.
Line 2. Enter the total of the gross income amounts shown on the
Forms 1042-S (box 2) being transmitted with this Form 1042-T.
Line 3. Enter the total of the federal tax withheld amounts shown on
all Forms 1042-S (total of amounts in boxes 7, 8, and 9, reduced by
any amount in box 11) being transmitted with this Form 1042-T.
Allocate withheld amounts between chapter 4 and chapter 3 on
lines 3a and 3b.
Final return. If you will not be required to file additional Forms
1042-S, including amended Forms 1042-S for the 2015 year (on
paper or electronically), enter an “X” in the “FINAL return” box.
