For tax year 2010 returns (on Forms RI-1120C and RI-1120S) filed through June 25, 2011, and tax year 2011 returns filed through June 25, 2012. Many returns are filed after the usual mid-March deadline because they are on extension.


In addition, the number of partnership information returns e-filed so far this year on Form RI-1065 exceeds the number e-filed for all of last year – a total of 1,076 so far this year, compared with 939 for all of last year.
