I am having the same issue. Not from RI but from North Carolina. Error message is identical. I have been able to e-file my federal separate from my state but e-file fails when attempting the state. Have paid the $20. Have tried a number of times over the last several days with no success. Even when the issue is solved, I would expect a refund if for nothing more than the inconvenience that this error has caused. Hopefully fixed soon!
