Income-tax returns are due by midnight April 15.

You may obtain a six-month extension to the deadline, but it is an extension for filing, not for paying; you still must pay what you owe by April 15 to avoid penalty and interest.

Taxpayers in Rhode Island who file paper returns must mail or otherwise have them conveyed to an IRS processing center in Kansas City, Mo. In previous years, Rhode Island taxpayers mailed their paper returns to an IRS center in Atlanta.

The correct address is included in tax packages that the IRS mailed earlier this season. Those who did not receive a package can find the correct address on the back cover of the instructions to U.S. Form 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ.
