Section 965 information for software vendors

The Division of Taxation has updated its schema to allow for the e-filing of Rhode Island Schedule 965.

Section 965 information for tax preparers

It is up to each software vendor to determine whether to reconfigure tax year 2017 software to allow for the e-filing of Rhode Island Schedule 965.

If Rhode Island Schedule 965 is not available as part of your tax preparation software, you may download the schedule from the Division’s website and attach a completed copy as a PDF when e-filing your client’s return (assuming that your software allows for PDF attachments).

If you have Section 965 income, make sure that the amount on Line 5 of the Rhode Island Schedule 965 carries over to line 1 of Form RI-1120C (“Business Corporation Tax Return”). Please also see the filing instructions on the schedule.
