The Rhode Island extension form need not be filed if you are not required to make payment with Rhode Island extension form.

You can use Form RI-4868 to obtain an automatic 6 month extension of time to file your Rhode Island Resident or Nonresident Income Tax Return.

Use Form RI-4868 to apply for 6 more months to file a Rhode Island Individual Income Tax Return, Form RI-1040 or RI-1040NR.

The tax due on the return must be paid on or before April 17, 2012. The filing or granting of an extension of time to file does not extend the time for payment of tax due on the return.

For additional information, please visit the State of Rhode Island Division of Taxation website.
