Form 1116 as Expat with only USA income
I am an expat living in Spain. I do not work or have any Spain related income. All my income is from the US and is interest, dividends, pension, and social security. I have to pay income tax to Spain for all of this US income. When I complete form 1116 to claim the Foreign Tax Credit on my US taxes, the form asks me to show my SPAIN income. (I don't have any Spain income). Do I show my US income (interest, dividends, retirement, social security, etc) that I reported to Spain and was thus taxed by Spain? In other words, since I don't have any Spain related income, what do I show as the "Spain Income" on the from 1116?
TIA
