Instructions

Center, P.O. Box 409101, Ogden, UT 84409, by March 16, 2009.
Send the forms in a flat mailing (not folded).

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).

Identifying information at top of form. The name, address, and
EIN of the withholding agent or intermediary on this form must
be the same as those you enter on Forms 1042 and 1042-S. See
Form 1042 for definitions of withholding agent and intermediary.

If you file 250 or more Forms 1042-S, you are required
to submit them electronically. You can also use this
method to submit less than 250 Forms 1042-S. If you
submit Forms 1042-S electronically, do not use Form
CAUTION
1042-T. See Pub. 1187 for information on filing
electronically.
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 2008, 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 2008 and an
attached Form 1042-S caused the gross income or tax withheld
information previously reported on line 62a or 62b 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

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, also
check the pro-rata box. As a result, there are four possible types
of Form 1042-S that may be transmitted:
● Original
● Original pro-rata
● Amended
● Amended pro-rata
Each type would be transmitted with a separate Form 1042-T.
For example, you would transmit only original Forms 1042-S with
one Form 1042-T and only amended Forms 1042-S with another
Form 1042-T.
Line 2a. Enter the total of the gross income amounts shown on
the Forms 1042-S (box 2) being transmitted with this Form
1042-T.
Line 2b. Enter the total of the U.S. federal tax withheld amounts
shown on the Forms 1042-S (box 9) being transmitted with this
Form 1042-T.
Final return. If you will not be required to file Forms 1042-S in
the future (on paper or electronically), enter an “X” in the “FINAL
return” box.
