2 2

This year there are only a few changes to the Personal Income Tax Return:

Increased Standard Deduction Amounts

Increased Exemption Amount

Increased Deduction and Exemption Phaseout Amount

Expanded Income Tax Brackets

Beginning January 1, 2013, the Rhode Island Division of Taxation will no longer prepare

current-year tax returns on a walk-in basis. See the back cover for more information.

Has your refund ever been delayed? Below are some common errors and how to avoid them.

Modifications: All valid modifications, both increasing and decreasing are listed on RI Schedule M -

0 0

Modification Schedule. If you have a modification to Federal AGI, the amount must be listed on the appro-

0 0

priate line provided. Modifications listed on a statement will cause a delay in your return. In the case of an

electronically filed return, statements cannot be read causing a delay in the processing of your return and,

possibly, the disallowance of the modification.

Other Payments: Did you receive a Form RI-1099PT from a pass-through entity? If so, the withholding

shown on the Form RI-1099PT is not to be entered on the “Other Payment” line of your return. The with-

holding amount must be listed on RI Schedule W - Rhode Island W-2 and 1099 Information.

Schedule W: Be sure to verify the Federal Employer Identification number found in box b on your W-2 or

the “PAYER’S federal identification number” box on your 1099 when listing it on RI Schedule W. Even

though your employer may not have changed, your employer’s Federal Employer Identification number

may have changed causing a mismatch during the verification process.

Rhode Island Temporary Disability Insurance: The ruling in a recent Massachusetts court case involv-

ing Rhode Island TDI does not affect treatment of TDI in Rhode Island. RI TDI payment (also referred to

as SDI) still cannot be claimed as income tax withheld on a Rhode Island income tax return.
