Collection Statute of Limitations · Verified

10-year collection bar for personal income tax from the date the notice of deficiency determination became a final collectible assessment (R.I. Gen. Laws §44-30-83); lien filing and renewal rights preserved within that period (§44-1-2 / §44-1-29). No collection action may commence more than 10 years after final assessment.

Verified Rhode Island Resolution Options

Installment agreements: Payment plan agreements administered by RI DOT Compliance & Collections (R.I. Gen. Laws §44-1-7); apply via RI Taxpayer Portal or call (401) 574-8941.

Offer in compromise / settlement: Offer in Compromise / compromise and abatement of uncollectible or excessive taxes authorized under R.I. Gen. Laws §44-1-10 (tax administrator may, with director of revenue approval, compromise, abate, or cancel the charge).

Penalty abatement: Penalty waiver on hardship grounds after all tax and interest are paid in full; request by written letter to RI DOT Compliance & Collections stating penalty type, amount, and reason (RI DOT administrative policy under §44-1-7).

Wage / levy protection: Federal CCPA floor (15 U.S.C. §1673): ordinary creditor garnishment limited to the lesser of 25% of disposable earnings or the amount exceeding 30× the federal minimum wage. State tax levies on wages may exceed this consumer cap at agency discretion. Rhode Island applies the federal 75% disposable-earnings exemption; first $50/week of wages fully exempt (R.I. Gen. Laws §9-26-4).
