If you did not work or live in Rhode Island, you should not have taxable income in the state. If you were traveling to Rhode Island for the work, then you have income to report. Income is taxed where earned or where you live. It does not matter where the company is located.
You may be able to contact the employer to discuss the state information and try to receive a corrected W-2. Or, if there was withholding for the state of Rhode Island, then you will need to file a nonresident return to obtain a refund of the withholding. You would be able to adjust the amount of income earned in the state on the return. If not, you should not have a filing requirement for the state of Rhode Island if no income was earned there and the W-2 income would be reduced to $0.
