E-signatures

 As a convenience for taxpayers and their representatives amid the pandemic, the Rhode Island Division of Taxation announced today that it will allow electronic signatures in place of handwritten signatures for certain types of forms.

“We realize the challenges that many taxpayers and their representatives face amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and we want to be as accommodating as possible given the circumstances,” said Rhode Island Tax Administrator Neena Savage.

The Division will accept electronic signatures for two forms, both of which involve the sale of Rhode Island real estate by nonresident individuals or entities. For more information, click here.
