PURPOSE OF FORM

Use this form to correct Form RI-1040. You must file a separate Form RI-1040X-R for each year you are amending. DO NOT use this form to file an amend- ed RI-1041. To amend Form RI-1041 make any changes on Form RI-1041 and check the amended box.

WHO MUST FILE AN AMENDED RETURN

RI Form 1040X-R must be completed by those tax- payers who have to correct their Rhode Island return as a result of a change or correction on their federal income tax return; the filing of an amended federal income tax return; the filing of an amended out-of- state return or a notification of a change or correc- tion on another state's personal income tax return.

WHEN TO FILE

Federal Audit Changes: If the Internal Revenue Service increases the amount of your federal tax- able income for any reason, you should file an Amended Rhode Island Income Tax Return within 90 days after the final determination of the change. Refunds: Generally a claim for refund must be filed within 3 years from the time the return was filed or 2 years from the time the tax was paid, whichever is later. In either case, the refund will be limited to the amount of payments made within the allowable peri- od.

Property Tax Relief Credit: If you are filing an amended return to claim the property tax relief cred- it, you must file the return no later than April 15, 2012. An extension of time may be allowed at the Tax Administrator's discretion for sickness, absence or other disability.

NOTE: April 15, 2012 falls on a Sunday and Emancipation Day, a Washington DC holiday, falls on Monday,April 16, 2012. Therefore, Rhode Island income tax returns will be considered timely filed if postmarked by April 17, 2012.

ROUNDING OFF TO WHOLE DOLLARS

The money items on your return and schedules may be shown in whole dollars. This means that you may eliminate any amount less than 50 cents and increase any amount from 50 cents to 99 cents to the next higher dollar.

DECEASED TAXPAYERS

If the taxpayer died before filing a Rhode Island Amended Income Tax Return, the taxpayer's spouse or personal representative must file and sign a return for the person who died if the deceased was required to file a return. A personal representative can be an executor, administrator or anyone who is in charge of the taxpayer's property.

The person who files the return should write "deceased" after the deceased's name and show the date of death in the name and address space on the return.

If you are claiming a refund as a surviving spouse fil- ing a joint return with the deceased, no other form is needed to have the refund issued to you. However, all other filers requesting a refund due the deceased, must file Form RI-1310, Statement of Person Claiming Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer, to claim the refund.

COMPLETE YOUR 2011 AMENDED FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN FIRST

The FederalAmended Individual Income Tax Return is the basis for preparing your Amended Rhode Island Individual Income Tax Return. In general, the Rhode Island income tax is based on your federal taxable income. Accuracy and attention to detail in completing the return in accordance with these instructions will facilitate the processing of your tax return.

Name(s), Address and Social Security Number(s)

Make sure the name(s), address and social security number(s) on the return are correct. Incorrect entries could delay the processing of your return.

Lines A, B & C - Additional Information

Line A: If the address listed is different than the address used on your original return, indicate the address used on your original return. If the address is the same as above, write "SAME".

Lines B & C: Check the "YES" box to any of the questions that apply to you.

Lines D & E - Filing Status

Check the appropriate boxes to indicate your filing status on your original return and your amended return. Generally your filing status for Rhode Island is the same as for federal income tax purposes.

JOINT RETURNS: Generally, if a husband and wife file a joint federal income tax return, they also must file a joint Rhode Island income tax return. However, if either the husband or the wife is a resi- dent and the other is a non-resident, they must file separate returns, unless they elect to file a joint return as if both were residents of Rhode Island. If the resident spouse files separately in RI and a joint federal return is filed for both spouses, the resident spouse must compute income, exemptions and tax as if a separate federal return had been filed.

If neither spouse is required to file a federal income tax return and either or both are required to file a Rhode Island income tax return, they may elect to file a joint Rhode Island income tax return.

Individuals filing joint Rhode Island income tax returns are both equally liable to pay the tax. They incur what is known as “joint and several liability” for Rhode Island income tax.
