A Message from Gabe:

Greetings Rhode Islanders,

April 15 is the official deadline to file your federal taxes. I want to remind everyone who has not yet filed their taxes to act by Tax Day. You can file your taxes with the IRS and the Rhode Island Department of Taxation or request an extension.

Filing Your Taxes:
If you are prepared to file, you should review your documents thoroughly to ensure accuracy and completeness. Filing electronically is the quickest way to submit your returns and, if applicable, to receive your refund faster.

Free filing assistance is available for qualified taxpayers:

• IRS Free File — a safe and free way to file your federal tax return online.
  
  
• Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly programs offer free tax help to people who need assistance in preparing their tax returns.
  
  
• The Rhode Island Division of Taxation Self-Service Taxpayer Portal allows individuals and businesses to file and pay state tax returns, make payments, and access various tax-related services online.

Helpful Filing Tips:

• Do not file before receiving all key documents.
  
  
• Be aware of tax scams.
  
  
• Make filing as smooth as possible by using the IRS's Get Ready page.
  
  
• Visit Where’s My Refund? to confirm receipt of your return and track your refund.
  
  
• Request an extension if you need more time to file your taxes.

Requesting an Extension:
If you need more time, you can request a filing extension through the IRS website or your tax preparation software. An extension can grant you until October 15 to file. Please remember that an extension to file is not an extension to pay any taxes owed. If you owe taxes, it is important to pay in a timely manner to avoid possible penalties and interest.

Do you support the Republican tax plan to provide tax breaks for billionaires?

I understand that tax season can be stressful, which is why there are several resources available to assist you. If you have any questions or need assistance for Tax Day, please do not hesitate to contact the IRS or call our Rhode Island office at 401-729-5600.

Sincerely,

Gabe Amo
