Estate Tax Simplification Update

The Rhode Island Division of Taxation is instituting two enhancements to the process of filing Rhode Island estate tax returns. Effective October 1, 2026, Form ESTATE-V will be discontinued and a simplification of the extension request filing process is being instituted. These updates will streamline filing and provide greater ease and clarity for estate tax filers.

More information is available in Advisory 2026-19.
