The Rhode
Island Division of Taxation is changing over to a new agency-wide computer
system – and the next phase starts a week from today.
Rhode Island Tax Administrator David M. Sullivan reminds taxpayers and tax practitioners that the
changeover will take place on six consecutive business days: from Monday,
October 26, 2015, through Monday, November 2, 2015.
During that time, the Tax
Division office at One Capitol Hill in Providence will remain open during its
usual hours: 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Phones will be staffed, emails answered,
payments received, and returns accepted, as usual. But certain services will be
limited, including issuing of letters of good standing and releasing motor
vehicle license blocks, motor vehicle registration blocks, and certain liens
and levies.
“We will
remain open and we will continue to provide the kinds of services that are
regularly used by the vast majority of taxpayers and practitioners,” said Rhode
Island Tax Administrator David M. Sullivan. “However, we want to let everyone
know now, in advance, that certain services used by a limited number of
taxpayers and practitioners will not be available during the six-day
changeover,” he said. For example, “If you’re blocked from renewing a driver’s
license because you owe back taxes, you should pay the tax debt on or before
this Friday, October 23,” Sullivan said.
- For more information, call the Division of Taxation at (401) 574-8829 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. business days. Or see the latest Advisory.
