Deductions & credits

Hi @Opus 17 quick question: my situation is similar- I was an international student, I was on an F-1 visa for almost 10 years working as a PhD research assistant and a postdoctoral scholar subsequently. I left last year (2021) but had income for January. I have been using turbotax for years (since it's been years since I was considered a resident for tax purposes), but I am not sure how to file this year - I do have a W2 and entered the details, but what do I do with the question "income that I made OUTSIDE the US", after I permanently left? Do I declare it (obviously it shouldn't get taxed since I left permanently) or do not declare it at all as it is not relevant to the IRS? Thanks!
