Married in September. My spouse lives / works in USA, and I'm not claiming her. She has no SIN. Do I still need to add her net income from America? Or do I just put 0.

Hi there, I left Canada in September 2018, got married in America to an American who only ever visited Canada for a couple of weeks. My spouse lives / works in USA, and I'm not claiming her. She has no SIN. Do I still need to add her net income from America? Or do I just put 0 as she earned nothing in Canada, has no SIN, and I'm not claiming spousal amount at all.
