Form 1042-S Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income – Copy A Federal

Copy A of Form 1042-S is the version a withholding agent files with the IRS, reporting U.S. source income paid to a foreign person that was subject to withholding. It’s the agent’s federal filing copy, distinct from the recipient and agent record copies that go elsewhere.

Print one Copy A per recipient covered in the reporting period, then mail the full batch to the IRS. The single-record layout with side perforation makes it easy to separate and stack forms before mailing. Order based on the number of recipients you’re reporting, not sheet count.

Because Copy A is the federal filing record rather than a document any recipient sees, it’s common for an agent to print the entire recipient batch in one session and mail it as a single package to the IRS, rather than treating each recipient’s Copy A as a separate mailing the way Copy B or Copy C are handled.
