How to change your address for Rhode Island state taxes

Official source: Division of Taxation — change of address. One form, RI-COI, covers name/address changes for all tax types incl. personal income tax. Rhode Island's online Tax Portal does NOT support personal income tax, so individuals use the RI-COI form (mail/fax).
