Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)
If you physically work in Hawaii, file a nonresident Hawaii return (tax rate: 1.4%-11% (12 brackets)). Then file your Rhode Island return and claim the RI Schedule II credit so you don't get taxed twice on the same income.
Employer Obligations (What Your Employer Must Withhold & Remit)
Register for withholding, unemployment, and TDI. Unemployment applies to the first $64,500 of wages.
Other Paycheck Deductions (Disability, Paid Leave, Unemployment)
Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI) up to 0.5% of weekly wages, capped at $7.21 per week.
