Tax Day 2022: Last-Minute Tips In Rhode Island

PROVIDENCE, RI — Rhode Islanders had an extra few days to file their taxes this year, thanks to April 15 falling on a holiday. That means if you aren't filing online, paper forms must be signed, sealed and delivered to the local post office before the end of the day on Monday.

To make sure taxes are filed on time, the IRS encourages taxpayers to file online. Filing online ensures quicker processing, with more customers receiving their refund within three weeks.

In Rhode Island, paper returns should be mailed to: The Rhode Island Division of Taxation, One Capitol Hill, Providence, RI 02908-5806.

The address for federal returns varies by state and form. A full list of federal addresses for Rhode Island can be found here.

To make sure mailed forms are not returned, make sure the address is clearly written on the envelope and that there is enough postage. If there are several pages of additional forms, additional postage might be needed to cover the added weight.
