Rhode Island Extension
Rhode Island gives everyone an automatic six-month extension for filing an income tax return. You don't need to file any form - the extension is automatic. The extension is for filing a return, not for paying the tax you owe. If you owe tax, it is still due by the original due date.
If you expect to owe Rhode Island tax, you can complete your Rhode Island extension here:
Menu Path: Account > File an Extension
We'll fill out a payment voucher for you, which you can mail to the Rhode Island Department of Revenue by the original due date for filing the return to avoid penalties and interest. You are also able to electronically file your Rhode Island extension directly to Rhode Island with or without payment.
If you're not required to make any payment with your Rhode Island extension form and you're filing a federal extension form for the same period of time, you don't need to submit the Rhode Island form. Attach a copy of Federal Form 4868 or the electronic acknowledgement you receive from the IRS to your Rhode Island individual income tax return when you submit it.
