You wouldn't report the rent income and expenses separately on your Montana return. If the net rental income is $0, then that is what will show on your Montana return. It seems a little technical, but you may be required to file the Montana return even though your net rental income is $0, as they can always look on your federal return to see your schedule E to verify how the state income was arrived at.
