Question: With no state distribution amount listed, will Indiana still expect a return from me? They should not expect a return with no income listed in the distribution amount.
Question: Will TurboTax reject my e-Filed Federal return if I enter Indiana in Box 15 and leave Boxes 14 and 16 blank? It may give you errors. Since there is no income or taxes withheld for the state, it is best to leave box 15 blank as well.
Question: Should I file an Indiana non-resident return showing zero tax due and including the story (with evidence) of how the 1099 R ended up with the IRA custodian's address as recipient? No. With no income or taxes withheld, there is nothing to file. Since you are in South Africa and did not receive the income as a resident of IN, you would have no state filing requirements. And since the boxes are blank, again, this would give you no filing requirements.
