I live in MA, and have a rental property in RI thats at net loss on my federal return do I still need to file an RI return?

Yes, according to the Rhode Island Division of Taxation, if you have income from Rhode Island sources, you must file a State Tax return.

However, if your actual taxable income falls below the filing threshold, you may not need to file.

We recommend that you add Rhode Island to your State Taxes and work through the interview. TurboTax will tell you if you need to submit the state tax return. If not, you may delete the state from your account without any charges.
