The Rhode
Island Division of Taxation today reminded taxpayers that there are only 10
days left until the deadline for filing Rhode
Island personal income tax returns. Resident and
nonresident returns must be e-filed or postmarked on or before 11:59 p.m. on
Monday, April 15, 2013.
“There have
been times in the past when the mid-April filing deadline fell on a day other
than April 15,” said Rhode Island Tax Administrator David M. Sullivan. “But
this year, April 15 is really April 15.” He urged taxpayers to complete their
returns as soon as possible – and to file them electronically – to avoid the
last-minute crunch and to ensure prompt processing. Nearly 90 percent of
returns have been e-filed so far.
