Did you claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion? (Form 2555)
If you did not have any Foreign Earned Income in 2021 (wages earned while working in a foreign country) you could leave these entries blank.
If your Foreign Taxes were paid on dividends and interest only, that is considered 'passive income' which is a different category of foreign income.
Those amounts transferred to the Foreign Tax Credit section for you from your 1099-Div/1099-Int entries. You will only need to enter the income that is related to those taxes (from your broker statement).
You are asked for this in the Foreign Tax Credit section.
