New filing season stats


The Rhode Island Division of Taxation has received nearly 520,000 personal income tax returns so far this year, up slightly from the corresponding period a year ago.

Thus far, e-filed returns are up about 7 percent over last year, while paper returns are down about 30 percent, and returns with 2-D barcodes are down about 16 percent. (The agency continues to process returns that were filed at or near the April 17 deadline, and will continue to process returns filed on extension.)
