AN ACT RELATING TO TAXATION -- PERSONAL INCOME TAX

SB 2061 amends Rhode Island's personal income tax law to allow residents to exclude all Social Security income from their state taxable starting in 2025. The bill also updates how the state calculates income by adjusting federal figures, including specific rules for tuition savings program withdrawals and the treatment of forgiven Paycheck Protection Program loans over $250,000. These changes directly affect Rhode Island residents who receive Social Security benefits or have participated in state tuition savings accounts and loan forgiveness programs.
