We have a home equity line of credit with 0 owed. We do not have any other mortgage. Do I need to state the HELOC lender?

If your HELOC balance is zero, and you also do not have a mortgage, there is nothing to report on your tax return. You do not need to list the lender.

Unless you had a balance on a loan and paid interest sometime during the 2017 tax year, you will not have a mortgage interest deduction. Also, when you pay mortgage interest, the lender is required to provide you with a Form 1098.
