Montana Royalties

[dennisgracie]

I do not do work in that other state. I simply own mineral rights. To perhaps explain more clearly:

- I live and work in Texas.

- My Royalties are in Montana

- The Payers of the Royalties are in Texas.

Payers sent me a 1099-MISC. Block 17 State/Payer's state no. is MT.

Only block 2 & 17 are filled out on the 1099-MISC.

Do I need to file state tax in Montana for the Royalties 1099-MISC?

Per the Montana Business & Income Tax Division, if you were a nonresident who received Montana source income, and you had a requirement to file a federal tax return, then you must file a Montana income tax return. Since your royalties are in Montana, you will need to file a Montana return.
