How do I request an extension for filing my taxes?

To request an extension for filing your taxes in Rhode Island, you can submit a written request for an extension either online or by mail. Make sure to include your name, address, social security number, and the specific tax form to which the extension applies. The extension will give you an additional 6 months to file your taxes but does not extend the time to pay any taxes owed. It is important to note that the extension only applies to the filing of your tax return, not to the payment of any taxes owed. Interest and penalties may still apply if taxes are not paid by the original due date.
