I was concerned about showing the amounts I had received whilst not a resident of Maine and how that would show on my Maine taxes. I called again and was advised to go the Subtitute 1099-R route.

Only issue I now have is, I cannot enter a tax number for the provider of the Pension. They do not have American tax ID's

@RD-Jones You can try entering all 9's for the EIN. If you are unable to efile though, you will need to print the return and mail in to both the federal and the state.
