Necessity of filling Form 1116 or Form 2555
I left the USA in February 2019, pass the substantial presence test for 2019, and am filing my US taxes as resident alien. Just on my US sourced income, I do not owe any taxes and don't need any foreign tax credit. So do I need to file 1116 or 2555 and attach it with 1040 at all given that I had Indian income later in the year, and that I paid taxes on it?

It is not enough to consider just US source income since I am filing as non-resident. I need to consider my global income, and there will most likely be a non-zero tax on it against which I can claim a foreign tax credit corresponding to the tax that I have paid elsewhere.
