(ri-1040-instructions)2024 Instructions for Filing RI-1040 (updated 12/09/2024)#
(ri-1040-instructions)(document-1)#
The RI-1040 Resident booklet contains returns and instructions for filing the 2024 Rhode Island Resident Individual Income Tax Return. Read the in- structions in this booklet carefully. For your convenience we have provided “line by line instructions” which will aid you in completing your return. Please print or type so that it will be legible. Fillable forms are available on our web- site at www.tax.ri.gov. Check the accuracy of your name(s), address, social security number(s) and the federal identification numbers listed on RI Sched- ule W. Most resident taxpayers will only need to complete the first three pages of Form RI-1040, RI Schedule W, RI Schedule E and RI Schedule U. Those taxpayers claiming modifications to federal adjusted gross income must complete RI Schedule M on pages 9 and 10 of the RI-1040 Resident booklet. Taxpayers claiming a credit for income taxes paid to another state must com- plete RI Schedule II on page 3 of the RI-1040 Resident booklet. See page I-6 of these instructions if claiming credit for multiple states. These instructions are to be used for full year resident taxpayers only. Nonresidents and part-year residents will file their Rhode Island Individual Income Tax Returns using Form RI-1040NR. Forms and instructions are available upon request at the Rhode Island Division of Taxation and on the Division of Taxation’s website at: https://tax.ri.gov/forms/individual-tax-forms/personal-income-tax-forms.
Complete your 2024 Federal Income Tax Return first. It is the basis for preparing your Rhode Island income tax return. In gen- eral, the Rhode Island income tax is based on your federal adjusted gross income. Accuracy and attention to detail in completing the return in accordance with these instructions will facilitate the processing of your tax return. You may find the following points helpful in preparing your Rhode Island Personal Income Tax Return.
WHO MUST FILE A RETURN RESIDENT INDIVIDUALS – Every resident individual of Rhode Island who is required to file a federal income tax return must file a Rhode Island individual income tax return (RI-1040). A resident individual who is not required to file a federal income tax return may be required to file a Rhode Island income tax return if his/her income for the taxable year is in excess of the sum of his/her Rhode Island personal exemptions and applicable standard deduction.
“Resident” means an individual who is domiciled in the State of Rhode Island or an individual who maintains a permanent place of abode in Rhode Island and spends more than 183 days of the year in Rhode Island. For purposes of the above definition, domicile is found to be a place an individual regards as his or her permanent home – the place to which he or she intends to return after a period of absence. A domicile, once established, continues until a new fixed and permanent home is acquired. No change of domicile results from moving to a new location if the intention is to remain only for a limited time, even if it is for a relatively long duration. For a married couple, normally both individuals have the same domicile.
Any person asserting a change in domicile must show: (1) an intent to abandon the former domicile, (2) an intent to acquire a new domicile and (3) actual physical presence in a new domicile.
JOINT AND SEPARATE RETURNS JOINT RETURNS: Generally, if two married individuals file a joint federal income tax return, they also must file a joint Rhode Island income tax return. However, if either one of the married individuals is a resident and the other is a nonresident, they must file separate returns, unless they elect to file a joint return as if both were residents of Rhode Island. If the resident spouse files separately in Rhode Island and a joint federal return is filed for both spouses, the resident spouse must compute income, exemptions, credits and tax as if a separate federal return had been filed. If neither spouse is required to file a federal income tax return and either or both are required to file a Rhode Island income tax return, they may elect to file a joint Rhode Island income tax return. Individuals filing joint Rhode Island income tax returns are both equally li- able to pay the tax. They incur what is known as “joint and several liability” for Rhode Island income tax.
SEPARATE RETURNS: Married individuals filing separate federal income tax returns must file separate Rhode Island income tax returns.
MILITARY PERSONNEL Under the provisions of the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act, the serv- ice pay of members of the armed forces can only be subject to income tax by the state of which they are legal residents. Place of legal residence at the time of entry into the service is normally presumed to be the legal state of residence and remains so until legal residence in another state is estab- lished and service records are changed accordingly. The Rhode Island in- come tax is imposed on all the federal taxable income of a resident who is a member of the armed forces, regardless of where such income is received. Military pay received by a nonresident service person stationed in Rhode Island is not subject to Rhode Island income tax. This does not apply to other income derived from Rhode Island sources, e.g., if the service person holds a separate job, not connected with his or her military service, income received from that job is subject to Rhode Island income tax. In addition, under the provisions of the Military Spouses Residency Relief Act, income for services performed by the servicemember’s spouse can only be subject to income tax by the state of his/her legal residency if the ser- vicemember’s spouse meets certain conditions. Income for services performed by the servicemember’s spouse in Rhode Island would be exempt from Rhode Island income tax if the servicemem- ber’s spouse moved to Rhode Island solely to be with the servicemember complying with military orders sending the servicemember to Rhode Island. The servicemember and the servicemember’s spouse must also share the same non-Rhode Island domicile. However, other income derived from Rhode Island sources such as busi- ness income, ownership or disposition of any interest in real or tangible per- 2024 INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING RI-1040 WHAT’S NEW FOR TAX YEAR 2024 Page I-1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Each year the RI Division of Taxation is required to make an inflationary adjustment for the following amounts: Standard deduction amounts (see page I-4 for the increased amounts) • Exemption amount (see page I-4 for the increased amount) • Income tax brackets (see page I-11 for the new tiers) • Increased Standard Deduction and Exemption phaseout amount (see page I-4 for the increased amount) • Federal AGI amounts for the social security modification (see worksheet on page 18) • Federal AGI amounts for the pension and annuity modification (see instructions on page I-9) • RI-1040H - Property Tax Relief Credit (see Form RI-1040H) •
Additional changes for tax year 2024 include: New Charitable Contribution Check-off for Behavioral Health Education, Training and Coordination Fund (see instructions on page I-6) • Discontinuance of exemption for Medicaid recipients on Form IND-HEALTH • Revised 12/2024
sonal property and gambling winnings are still subject to Rhode Island in- come tax. Internal Revenue Code provisions governing armed forces pay while serving in a “combat zone” or in an area under conditions that qualify for Hostile Fire Pay are applicable for Rhode Island purposes.
DECEASED TAXPAYERS If the taxpayer died before filing a return for tax year 2024, the taxpayer’s spouse or personal representative must file and sign a return for the person who died if the deceased was required to file a return. A personal represen- tative can be an executor, administrator or anyone who is in charge of the taxpayer’s property. The person filing the return should check the “deceased” check box after the deceased’s name. If you are claiming a refund as a surviving spouse filing a joint return with the deceased, no other form is needed to have the refund issued to you. However, all other filers requesting a refund due the deceased, must file Form RI-1310, Statement of Person Claiming Refund Due a Deceased Tax- payer, to claim the refund. If you are filing Form RI-1040H, the right to file a claim does not survive a person's death. Therefore, a claim filed on behalf of a deceased person cannot be allowed. If the claimant dies after having filed a timely claim, the amount thereof will be disbursed to another member of the household as determined by the Tax Administrator.
WHERE AND WHEN TO FILE Rhode Island income tax returns will be considered timely filed if post- marked by Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
If you are claiming a refund, mail your return to:
Rhode Island Division of Taxation One Capitol Hill Providence, RI 02908 – 5806
If you are making a payment, mail your return, payment and Form RI-1040V to: Rhode Island Division of Taxation One Capitol Hill Providence, RI 02908 – 5807
EXTENSION OF TIME Any extension of time granted for filing an individual income tax return shall not operate to extend the time for the payment of any tax due on such return. In General - (1) An individual who is required to file a Rhode Island income tax return shall be allowed an automatic six month extension of time to file such return. (2) An application must be prepared in duplicate on form RI-4868. (3) The original of the application must be filed on or before the date prescribed for the filing of the return of the individual with the Rhode Island Division of Taxation. (4) Such application for extension must show the full amount prop- erly estimated as tax for such taxpayer for such taxable year, and such application must be accompanied by the full remittance of the amount properly estimated as tax which is unpaid as of the date prescribed for the filing of the return.
NOTE: If no payment is required to be made with your Rhode Island exten- sion form and you are filing a federal extension form for the same period of time, you do not need to submit the Rhode Island form. Attach a copy of Federal Form 4868 or the electronic acknowledgment you receive from the IRS to your Rhode Island individual income tax return at the time it is submitted.
Filing for an extension of time to file Form RI-1040 does not extend the time to file Form RI-1040H, Rhode Island Property Tax Relief Claim or Form RI- 6238, Rhode Island Residential Lead Paint Credit. Rhode Island income tax returns will be considered timely filed if post-marked by Tuesday, April 15, 2025.

MISSING OR INCORRECT FORM W-2 This form is given to you by your employer showing the amount of income tax withheld on your behalf by your employer. A copy of it must accompany your Rhode Island income tax return if you are to receive credit for such withheld tax. Only your employer can issue or correct this form. If you have not received a Form W-2 from your employer by February 15, 2025 or if the form which you have received is incorrect, contact your employer as soon as possible.
CHANGES IN YOUR FEDERAL TAXABLE INCOME OR FEDERAL TAX LIABILITY You must report to the Rhode Island Division of Taxation any change or correction in federal taxable income or federal tax liability as reported on your federal income tax return, whether resulting from the filing of an amended federal return or otherwise. Such report must be made within ninety (90) days after filing an amended federal return or final determination of such change by the Internal Revenue Service. Report any changes on Form RI-1040, and check the Amended checkbox. Using the Supplement to Individual Income Tax Return, provide an explanation of the changes to your income, deductions and/or credits. Attach the supplement to your amended return along with all schedules that are part of your return, not just those that were changed because of the amendment. The Supplement can be found on page 23 of the RI-1040 Resident Booklet or on the Division of Taxation’s website at: https://tax.ri.gov/forms/individual-tax-forms/personal-income-tax-forms
RHODE ISLAND LOTTERY PRIZES AND GAMBLING WINNINGS Winnings and prizes received from the Rhode Island Lottery and other gambling establishments are taxable under the Rhode Island personal in- come tax law and are to be included in the income of both residents and nonresidents alike.
ESTIMATED INCOME TAX PAYMENTS If a taxpayer can reasonably expect to owe more than $250 after allowing for withholding tax and/or credits, he or she must make estimated tax pay- ments. Estimated tax payments are made on Form RI-1040ES that has in- structions for computing the estimated tax and making payments.
PAYMENTS OR REFUNDS Any PAYMENT of tax liability shown on your return to be due to the State of Rhode Island must be paid in full with your return. Complete and submit Form RI-1040V with your payment.
An amount due of less than five dollars ($5) need not be paid.
See “Where and When to File” for mailing instructions.
A REFUND will be made if an overpayment of income tax is shown on your return, unless you indicate on your return that such overpayment is to be credited to your estimated tax liability for 2025. No other application for refund is necessary. Please note that no refund can be made unless your return is properly signed.
Refunds of less than $5.00 will not be paid unless specifically requested.
See “Where and When to File” for mailing instructions.
REFUND CLAIMS R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-30-87 provides different time periods within which a refund claim is allowed. A refund may be claimed within three (3) years of Page I-2
filing a return or two (2) years from the time the tax was paid, whichever ex- pires later. If a claim is made within the three (3) year period, the amount of the refund cannot exceed the amount of tax paid within that three (3) year period. If a claim is made within the two (2) year period, the amount of refund may not exceed the portion of tax paid during the two (2) years preceding the filing of the claim.
For purposes of this section, any income tax withheld from the taxpayer during any calendar year and any amount paid as estimated income tax for a taxable year is deemed to have been paid on the fifteenth day of the fourth month following the close of the taxable year for which the payments were being made. For more information, call the Personal Income Tax Section at (401) 574-8829, option #3.
VICTIM OF IDENTITY THEFT If you are a victim of identity theft, attach a copy of Federal Form 14039 to your return.
SIGNATURE You must sign your Rhode Island income tax return. If filing a joint return, both married individuals must sign the return. An unsigned return cannot be processed. Any paid preparer who prepares a taxpayer’s return must also sign as “preparer”. If a firm or corporation prepares the return, it should be signed in the name of the firm or corporation. If you wish to allow the Tax Division to contact your paid preparer should questions arise about your return, check the appropriate box located below the preparer’s information.
NET OPERATING LOSS DEDUCTIONS The Rhode Island Personal Income Tax law relating to Net Operating Loss deduction (NOL) has been amended by enactment of R.I. Gen. Laws § 44- 30-2.8 and R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-30-87.1. Under the provisions of R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-30-87.1, for losses incurred for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2002, an NOL deduction may not be carried back for Rhode Island personal income tax purposes, but will only be allowed as a carry forward for the number of succeeding years as provided in IRS §172. A carry forward can only be used on the Rhode Island return to the extent that the carry forward is used on the federal return. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please call the Per- sonal Income Tax Section at (401) 574-8829, option #3.
BONUS DEPRECIATION A bill passed disallowing the federal bonus depreciation for Rhode Island tax purposes. When filing a Rhode Island tax return any bonus depreciation taken for federal purposes must be added back to income as a modification on RI Schedule M - page 2, line 2d for Rhode Island purposes. In subse- quent years, when federal depreciation is less than what previously would have been allowed, the difference may be deducted from income as a mod- ification on RI Schedule M - page 1, line 1i for Rhode Island purposes.
A separate schedule of depreciation must be kept for Rhode Island pur- poses. The gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of the asset is to be determined, for Rhode Island purposes, using a Rhode Island depreciation schedule.
EXAMPLE: A company bought equipment after September 11, 2001 that cost $10,000 and had a 10 year life and qualified for 30% bonus deprecia- tion. Depreciation for federal purposes in the first year was $3,700 (30% X $10,000) + (10% x 7,000). Normal depreciation in the first year would have been $1,000. The Company should add back on RI Schedule M, page 2, line 2d the amount of $2,700 ($3,700 - $1,000). In subsequent years the company should deduct $300 ($1000 - $700) each year while depreciation lasts. The deduction should be on RI Schedule M - page 1, line 1i. If a taxpayer has already filed a return, an amended return should be filed. Questions on this procedure should be addressed by calling the Personal Income Tax Section at (401) 574-8829, option #3. SECTION 179 DEPRECIATION Rhode Island passed a bill disallowing the increase in the Section 179 depreciation under the Jobs & Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003. Section 179 depreciation will remain limited to $25,000 for Rhode Island in- come tax purposes. When filing your Rhode Island tax return, a deduction is allowed for depreciation taken on your federal return in prior years which was previously taken as an increasing modification to adjusted gross in- come. Enter the deduction as a modification on Schedule M - page 1, line 1j. A separate schedule of depreciation must be kept for Rhode Island pur- poses. The gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of the asset is to be determined, for Rhode Island purposes, using the Rhode Island depreciation schedule. Legislation passed in July of 2013 sets Rhode Island to conform with the federal Section 179 deduction amounts for all assets placed in service on or after January 1, 2015.
TUITION SAVINGS PROGRAM – SECTION 529 A modification decreasing federal adjusted gross income may be claimed for contributions made to a Rhode Island “qualified tuition program" under section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. §529. The maximum modification shall not exceed $500, $1,000 if a joint return, regardless of the number of accounts. Taxpayers should claim the modification on Schedule M - page 1, line 1g. If the funds are rolled over to a Tuition Savings Plan of another state or are an unqualified withdrawal, recapture is required.

RHODE ISLAND TAX CREDITS Rhode Island law provides special Rhode Island tax credits which may be applied against the Rhode Island income tax. Before claiming any cred- its, taxpayers should refer to the Rhode Island law and/or regulations for specific requirements for each credit such as carry over provisions and the order in which the credits must be used. Taxpayers claiming credits must attach RI Schedule CR and the proper form(s) and other documentation to the return; failure to do so will result in disallowance of the credit. A list of allowable Rhode Island credits is available on RI Schedule CR. If a particular credit is not listed on RI Schedule CR that means the credit is no longer allowed against personal income tax. See page I-7 of these instructions for more information.
INTEREST Any tax not paid when due, including failure to pay adequate estimated tax, is subject to interest at the rate of 12% (0.1200) per annum. Interest on refunds of tax overpayments will be paid if the refund is not paid within ninety (90) days of the due date or the date the completed return was filed, whichever is later. The interest rate for tax overpayments is 8.00% (0.0800) per annum.
PENALTIES The law provides for penalties in the following circumstances: •Failure to file an income tax return by the due date. A late filing penalty will be assessed at 5% (0.0500) per month on the unpaid tax for each month or part of a month the return is late. The maximum late filing penalty is 25% (0.2500). •Failure to pay any tax due by the due date. A late payment penalty will be assessed at 1/2% (0.0050) per month on the unpaid tax for each month or part of a month the tax remains unpaid. The maximum late payment penalty is 25% (0.2500). •Preparing or filing a fraudulent income tax return.
Regulation 280-RICR-20-55-4 implements the state law enacted in 2013 which establishes civil and criminal penalties for paid preparers who prepare Rhode Island personal income tax returns with the intent to wrongfully evade or reduce a tax obligation.

This modification only applies if the entity is a cash basis entity as shown on the entity’s federal return and the RI-PTE for tax year 2023 had an overpayment that was refunded to the entity.
Tax Year 2023 Overpayment Refunded to the Entity If the pass-through entity’s tax year 2023 overpayment was refunded to the entity, the entity would be expected to include that refund as income on its tax year 2024 corporate filings enabling the individual taxpayer to claim a decreasing modification in tax year 2024 IF the individual taxpayer previously accounted for the tax year 2023 refund as part of the payments made in calendar year 2023 AND properly claimed the payments as an in- creasing modification in tax year 2023. If any part of the 2023 overpay- ment was due to payments made within calendar year 2024, the individual taxpayer should not have accounted for those payments as part of the 2023 increasing modification because the payments were made within 2024.

Line 2c – Recapture of Family Education Account Modifications under R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-30-25(g).

WHAT IS A USE TAX? A Use Tax is a tax on the use of tangible personal property in a state where the property has not been subject to the sales tax. Rhode Island Use Tax applies when merchandise purchased outside of Rhode Island is brought into Rhode Island. Sales and use taxes are com- plementary taxes and are assessed at the same rate. In Rhode Island the sales and use tax rate is 7%. The Rhode Island Use Tax is most often due when merchandise subject to the sales tax in Rhode Island is purchased from an out-of-state vendor who did not collect the Rhode Island tax and the property is subsequently used in this state. Common examples of transac- tions from which use tax liability may arise are mail-order catalog, out-of- state purchases, toll-free “800” purchases and purchases made over the internet.
WHAT IS TAXABLE? The same items that are subject to the Rhode Is- land Sales Tax are subject to the use tax. Some typical examples of taxable items are jewelry, computers, electronic equipment, Software as a Service and specified digital products. Clothing and footwear costing $250 or less are not taxable. Refer to RI Reg. 280-RICR-20-70-6 for more information regarding the tax on clothing and footwear.
Pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-30-100, when reporting the amount of use tax obligation on the Rhode Island personal income return, the taxpayer shall list either the actual amount (from books, records, and other sources), or an amount using a lookup table established by the tax administrator.
The tax administrator shall create the lookup table with reference to a tax- payer's federal adjusted gross income (AGI) as listed on the Rhode Island personal income tax return before modifications, adjustments, or other changes. To determine the amount of use tax from the lookup table, the tax- payer shall multiply 0.0008 by the amount of the taxpayer's federal AGI as listed on the Rhode Island personal income tax return before modifications, adjustments, or other changes.
If a taxpayer uses the lookup table, the taxpayer shall list on the return not only the result from the lookup table, but also the actual amount of each sin- gle purchase whose purchase price equals or exceeds one thousand dollars ($1,000).
Instructions for the personal income tax form shall indicate that the use of the lookup table as described in this section is, for the taxpayer, a "safe har- RI SCHEDULE U INDIVIDUAL USE TAX Page I-10

The taxpayer shall list either the ac- tual amount of use tax due, or an amount using the Rhode Island Use Tax Lookup Table below.

WHEN AND WHERE TO FILE Form RI-1040H must be filed by April 15, 2025. Even if you are seeking a filing extension for your Rhode Island income tax return, RI- 1040, Form RI-1040H must be filed by April 15, 2025. An extension of time to file Form RI-1040, does NOT extend the time to file Form RI-1040H.
If filing with Form RI-1040, your property tax relief credit will decrease any income tax due or increase any income tax refund.
If you are not required to file a Rhode Island income tax return, Form RI-1040H may be filed by itself without attaching it to a Rhode Island income tax return. However, Form RI-1040H must be filed by April 15, 2025.
Your property tax relief claim should be filed as soon as possible after December 31, 2024. However, no claim for the year 2024 will be allowed unless such claim is filed by April 15, 2025. For additional filing instructions, see R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-33. Mail your property tax relief claim to the Rhode Island Division of Taxation - One Capitol Hill - Providence, RI 02908-5806.
WHO MAY QUALIFY To qualify for the property tax relief credit you must meet all of the following conditions: a) You must be sixty-five (65) years of age or older and/or disabled. b) You must have been domiciled in Rhode Island for the entire calendar year 2024. c) Your household income must have been $39,275.00 or less. d) You must have lived in a household or rented a dwelling that was subject to property taxes. e) You must be current on property tax and rent payments due on your homestead for all prior years and on any current installments.
WHO MAY CLAIM CREDIT If you meet all of the qualifications outlined above, you should complete Form RI-1040H to determine if you are entitled to a credit.
Only one person of a household may claim the credit. If there are multiple individuals within a household, the taxable and non-taxable income of all household members must be included in part 5 of this return. If the household income of all members is less than or equal to the $39,275.00 threshold, the credit may still be claimed, but only by one member of the household.
The right to file a claim does not survive a person's death; therefore a claim filed on behalf of a deceased person cannot be allowed. If the claimant dies after having filed a timely claim, the amount thereof will be disbursed to another member of the house- hold as determined by the Tax Administrator.
ATTACHMENTS - Keep your originals - send in copies Attached to this claim shall be: For homeowners: A copy of your 2024 property tax bill. For renters: Copies of three (3) rent receipts for the year 2024, or a copy of your 2024 lease agreement. You should keep your original rent receipts and send in photo- copies printed on letter sized (8 1/2” x 11”) paper. If you lived in subsidized housing, attach a copy of your HUD statement.

Report this amount on line 33. This is not classified as additional taxable income, but it is understood that some individuals may use prior deposits to pay current year rent, property tax or other personal expenses. As with all reported items on this return, documentation may be requested.
What is meant by a “dependent” - The term “dependent” means any person living in the household who is under the age of 18 who can be claimed by someone else on their tax return.

What is meant by a “household” - The term "household" means one or more persons occupying a dwelling unit and living as a single nonprofit housekeeping unit. House- hold does not mean bona fide lessees, tenants or roomers and borders on contract.
What is meant by “household income” - The term "household income" means all income received both taxable and nontaxable by all persons of a household in a calendar year while members of the household.
What is meant by “public assistance” - The term “public assistance” means cash as- sistance from government assistance programs informally known as welfare assis- tance, and more commonly known as “Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)”.

Note: Part 5, line 29 and Part 2, line 1a must be equal.
What is meant by "rent paid for occupancy only" - The term "rent paid for occupancy only" means the gross rent paid only for the right of occupying your homestead.

LIMITATIONS ON CREDIT Under the provisions of R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-33-16, a claim for relief shall exclude all taxes or rent paid with public assistance funds. The maximum amount of credit allow- able under Chapter 44-33, Property Tax Relief Act, for calendar year 2024 is $675.00. In the event that more than one person owns the residence, the taxes will be divided by the owner's share.
