The
Rhode Island Division of Taxation has announced that calendar-year C corporations are eligible for an automatic six-month extension for tax
years beginning on or after January 1, 2016.
Thus,
for example, a calendar-year C corporation preparing its Rhode Island return
for tax year 2016, with an original due date of April 18, 2017, will have an
extended due date of October 16, 2017.
The
Division decided to establish the six-month extension so that entities filing
their federal and Rhode Island returns will have the same deadline – a
convenience for businesses and for tax professionals. For details, click here.
