Rhode Island Application for Automatic Extension of Time To
File a Rhode Island Individual Income Tax Return

2023

PURPOSE OF FORM RI-4868

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Use Form RI-4868 to obtain an automatic 6 month extension
of time to file a Rhode Island Individual Income Tax Return.
Form RI-4868 can be used to extend the filing of Form RI1040, Rhode Island Resident Individual Tax Return, or RI1040NR, Nonresident Income Tax Return.

The tax due on the return must be paid on or before
April 15, 2024.

The filing or granting of an extension of time to file does
not extend the time for payment of tax due on the return.

Filing Form RI-4868 DOES NOT extend the time to
file Form RI-1040H or Form RI-6238. These forms
must be filed on or before April 15, 2024 even if you
file an extension for Form RI-1040 or RI-1040NR.

EXTENSION OF TIME
The Rhode Island extension form need not be filed if you are
not required to make payment with Rhode Island extension
form.
If you must file a Rhode Island request for extension, you
should:
1. Prepare the Rhode Island Extension Form RI-4868.
2. On line A, clearly show the full amount properly estimated as Rhode Island income tax for the year 2023. If a
proper estimate is not made, the extension request will
not be considered valid. See Reg 280-RICR-20-55-2.
3. File the extension with the Rhode Island Division of
Taxation on or before April 15, 2024.
4. Pay the amount of Rhode Island tax due as calculated on
Form RI-4868 on or before April 15, 2024.
5. Be sure to attach a copy of Form RI-4868 to your Rhode
Island return when it is filed.
6. Detach and return the top portion with your payment.
