So, unless you can somehow prove the negative fact that you never crossed the state line and never ordered anything from a catalog or the internet you pay.
You don't have to prove a negative fact; you can just say "I know the exact amount of Maine use tax I owe: $0."

You don't have to prove a lack of income, either; tax forms don't say "we assume you made a million dollars last year; please provide proof of how much less than a million you made."
