I have a foreign retirement income. Income tax is withheld at source in a foreign country. As I have to file form 1116 to get the FTC (foreign tax credit) I need to know if such retirement is a “passive category income” or a “general category income” as I have to fill the correct box on Form 1116.

I don't know if it helps, but Taxes for expats says that "Income derived from bonds, IRAs, rental properties, and stocks are considered passive types of income" – CalvT Apr 6 '18 at 17:44

What type of 'retirement income' are you receiving, specifically? It may make a difference. – Grade 'Eh' Bacon Sep 5 '18 at 14:07

retirement income is treated as passive income. In the US, "earned income" is the other side of passive income.
