Rhode Island has opened a 75-day tax amnesty window offering full penalty relief and a 25% reduction in interest — a significant opportunity for taxpayers with outstanding Rhode Island liabilities.
The amnesty covers businesses and individuals with unfiled returns, open liabilities, or liens on delinquent tax periods ending on or before December 31, 2025. Covered taxes include corporate, sales and use, personal income, and other taxes administered by the Division of Taxation.
If you have Rhode Island exposure — even from years ago — this is the cheapest it will get. Amnesty windows are rare, and the penalty waiver alone can save substantial sums compared to coming forward later under normal voluntary disclosure.
Act within the 75-day window: once it closes, standard penalties and full interest apply again. Consult a Rhode Island tax professional to confirm your periods qualify before filing.
