I inputted a federal and a state income tax withholding in stock sales screen for Schedule D. The 1040NR showed the payment but the 540NR didn't show. ?

Was your client subject to backup withholding because no W8-BEN was on the brokerage's file or for other reasons?  Just want to check because this is unusual as capital gains of NRA from stock sale are generally not subject to US tax and no FIT/SIT would be withheld.  Knowing the context would help address the question you have.
