Do I need to file a SC state tax return if I sold an inherited home in SC but had no residency there and earned no income in SC? Which forms do I use if I have to file?

Thank you for your help!

Do I need to file a SC state tax return if I sold an inherited home in SC but had no residency there and earned no income in SC? Which forms do I use if I have to file?

This is what South Carolina DOR says:

If you are a nonresident or part-year resident, you are generally required to file a South Carolina return if you work in South Carolina or are receiving income from rental property, businesses, or other investments in South Carolina. 

A nonresident individual receiving South Carolina income from wages, rental property, businesses, or other investments in South Carolina, must file an SC1040 South Carolina Individual Income Tax Return and Schedule NR Nonresident Schedule.

If the sold house did not give you any income, you would not need to file.

Here is the general information from South Carolina:
