Can I e-file my state taxes if I also need to file a federal return?

Yes, you can e-file your state taxes even if you need to file a federal return. The State of Rhode Island Division of Taxation offers an electronic filing system that allows taxpayers to e-file both their state and federal tax returns simultaneously. This makes the tax filing process more convenient and efficient. By using the IRS e-file system, taxpayers can electronically transmit their federal tax return while also choosing to e-file their Rhode Island state tax return. It eliminates the need for paper forms and offers faster processing times. Additionally, e-filing provides the option to directly deposit any refunds into the taxpayer's bank account for quicker access to funds.
