Free File - Rhode Island

General Information

Welcome to Free File. You may qualify to prepare and file your federal and Rhode Island resident personal income tax returns online at no charge.

The free service is made possible from Free File, which is a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service, the Rhode Island Division of Taxation, a number of other states, and the Free File Alliance.

The Free File Alliance is a group of industry-leading private-sector tax preparation companies that have agreed to provide free commercial online tax preparation and electronic filing.

Please read the information on their web sites carefully before you begin the filing process. You may be charged a fee for filing your taxes electronically if you do not meet the qualifications for Free File.

Be aware of two points going to these sites:

You must file both your federal and state return for the system to work. If you have already filed your federal return using another electronic filing service, you will not be able to file your state return electronically. There may be a charge to file your taxes electronically if you do not meet the qualifications

The offers below are listed in alphabetical order, by company. To take advantage, read the descriptions, choose one of the offers, and click on the link. When you click, you will leave the Division of Taxation's web site.
