Data notes for Rhode Island
Three brackets (3.75/4.75/5.99%) identical for all filing statuses; 2026 thresholds $82,050 and $186,450 per RI Division of Taxation Advisory ADV 2025-22. 2026 standard deduction $11,200 single / $22,400 MFJ / $16,800 HOH; personal exemption $5,250 per person (MFJ = 2 exemptions = $10,500). Both the standard deduction and exemptions phase out in 20% steps for each $7,450 (or fraction thereof) of modified federal AGI above $261,000 (same threshold for every filing status), fully gone above $290,800 - a stepped (not linear) phase-out, so it is expressed via special 'ri_stepped_phaseout' and the linear phaseout fields are left null. The new high-income surtax enacted in the FY2027 budget (H 7127 Sub A, Article 6: 1% on taxable income over $1,000,000) starts in tax year 2027 (2% 2028, 3% 2029) and does NOT apply to 2026, so surtaxes is empty. Payroll: TDI/TCI 1.1% of wages up to $100,000 (max $1,100), employee-paid. No employee UI in RI. Pre-tax 401(k)/section 125 excluded (RI starts from federal AGI).
