Electronic Filing Mandate...

Due Date...
Form 1042 is typically filed annually with the IRS by March 15th of the following calendar year, along with Form 1042-S, which is used to report income paid to
foreign persons. It helps the IRS track and enforce tax withholding requirements on income paid to foreign individuals and entities to ensure compliance with U.S. tax laws.
Difference between Form 1042 and Form 1042-S...
IRS Forms 1042 and 1042-S are filed separately. Both forms are filed by the withholding agent.
Form 1042-S is an information return. It is provided to the foreign person who receive income subject to withholding,
such as wages, scholarships, or dividends, from a US withholding agent. Form 1042-S reports the amount of income paid
to the foreign person, any applicable withholding tax, and any treaty benefits claimed by the recipient.
Form 1042 is a tax return which reports a withholding agents tax liability for a given tax year.
Form 1042 requires an authorized taxpayer representative to sign Form 1042 and assume
responsiblity for the accuracy and completeness of the information reported on the form.
