Rhode Island Income Taxes and RI State Tax Forms
Rhode Island
"The Ocean State"
Want to only prepare and eFile a RI Tax Return? The IRS and the respective State Tax Agencies require you to e-file a Federal Income Tax Return at the same time you e-file a State Tax Return. This is an IRS and State Tax Agency policy, not an eFile.com policy. Thus, you technically cannot e-File anywhere - not just eFile.com - a Rhode Island Tax Return without also e-filing the associated IRS Tax Return. eFile.com makes it easy for you to prepare and e-file your IRS and Rhode Island State Tax Return (e.g resident, nonresident, or part-year resident returns).
Having stated this, there is an option to only prepare a Rhode Island Tax Return on eFile.com: Detailed instructions on how to only prepare and mail in - not eFile - a Rhode Island 2022 Tax Return - here via eFile.com. You can complete and sign the 2022 tax return forms online here on eFile, before you download, print and mail them to the state tax agency. The address is listed on the form. Find the IRS mailing address via this link.

Rhode Island Tax Extension
For Tax Year 2022, if you expect a refund or you don't owe taxes, you do not have to file a tax extension. However, if you believe you will owe taxes and can't file on time, you should take action and here are the options available for Rhode Island:
- If you do not owe Rhode Island income taxes by the tax deadline of April 18, 2023, you do not have to prepare and file a RI tax extension. In case you expect a RI tax refund, you will need to file or e-File your RI tax return in order to receive your tax refund money.
- If you owe RI income taxes, you will either have to submit a RI tax return or extension by the April 18, 2023 tax deadline in order to avoid late filing penalties. The extension will only avoid late filing penalties until Oct. 16, 2023. Note: Unless you pay all your Taxes or eFile your tax return by Oct. 16, 2023, the late filing penalties will start again after Oct. 16, 2023. You have the following options to file a RI tax extension:
- Pay all or some of your Rhode Island income taxes online via: State of Rhode Island . Paying your RI taxes online on time will be considered a RI tax extension and you do not have to mail in Form RI-4868.
- Complete Form RI-4868, include a Check or Money Order, and mail both to the address on Form RI-4868.
- Even if you filed an extension, you will still need to file your RI tax return either via eFile or by paper by Oct. 16, 2023.
- Important: If you owe Rhode Island and/or IRS income taxes and do not file an IRS and Rhode Island tax return or extension by April 18, 2023, you will be subject to IRS and RI late filing penalties. Estimate IRS late filing, payment penalties. In addition, if you do not pay your taxes by April 18, 2023, you will be subject to late tax payment penalties. Filing an extension on time will ONLY eliminate the late filing penalties but not the late tax payment penalties. Late filing penalties are generally higher than late payment penalties, thus file something on time even if you can't pay anything on time!
The deadline to e-file an IRS extension for 2022 Tax Returns is April 18, 2023. e-File a 2022 Tax Extension for free on eFile.com. Here are instructions on whether you should consider a Tax Extension or not.
