Time to File with Rhode Island Division of Taxation

The Rhode Island Division of Taxation is extending the deadline to file the reporting required under the state’s health insurance mandate to March 31, 2022. The change is to align with the IRS electronic filing deadline. At this time, the deadline only impacts the date to file with the agency and not the deadline to furnish reports to employees. The agency has indicated that should that date change, it will be communicated.
