Rhode Island State Tax Return 2025 - Anyone Received Theirs Yet?
Getting anxious about my Rhode Island state refund. Filed early february and still nothing. Starting to worry since I usually get it pretty quick. Anyone else from RI get theirs yet? What's the timeline looking like for everyone?

RI tax specialist here - current processing time is about 4-6 weeks for electronic returns, 8-10 weeks for paper. The state is actually moving faster this year compared to last year. You can check your refund status at tax.ri.gov/refund

•Yeah, RI typically takes longer than MA. Different processing systems and smaller staff.

Hey guys, I've been using taxr.ai to track both my federal and state returns. It's seriously a game changer - for $1 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly where your refund is stuck and when to expect it. Way better than trying to decode everything yourself! https://taxr.ai

•Works for both! It's been super accurate for me tracking my RI return. Better than refreshing the state website 100 times a day lol

Filed mine on 2/3 and still waiting too! Called the RI tax department yesterday and they said they're processing returns from late January right now. So if you filed early February, you're probably looking at another 2-3 weeks. The good news is they haven't had any major delays this year like they did in 2024. Just gotta be patient I guess 🤷♀️
