ALERT: Scam Calls Rhode Island taxpayers are being targeting by spam/scam phone calls claiming to be from the RI Division of Taxation. These calls may appear to originate from legitimate Division of Taxation phone numbers. Call us at 401-574-8829, option #3, to confirm authenticity of any unexpected or suspicious calls. More information is available in Advisory 2024-18.
Due Date Extensions The Division of Taxation extends certain due dates to July 15, 2024 in response to the April 4, 2024 announcement from the IRS regarding federal due date extensions due to severe storms and flooding. Refer to Advisory 2024-16 and Advisory 2024-17 for further guidance regarding Rhode Island due dates.
Tax Information for Members of the Armed Forces During the filing season there are questions about personal income tax filings for military personnel. Armed Services personnel serving in a designated combat zone are eligible for certain federal tax considerations, including an exclusion for active duty pay and extensions of time to file and pay. The issue that arises, of course, is whether the same treatment is accorded with respect to state income taxes. Rhode Island conforms to both the exclusion and the filing deadline extension. Please contact the Taxpayer Assistance Section at the Division of Taxation for more information. The telephone number is 401-574-8829, option #3 or email them at Tax.Assist@tax.ri.gov Related Link: Internal Revenue Service's Web site and tax information for military personnel and their families.
