Crypto capital-gains tax in Rhode Island

Rhode Island applies the same three-bracket schedule (3.75%, 4.75%, 5.99%) to every filing status, with the top rate starting at $181,650 of taxable income in 2025. The standard deduction and per-person exemption phase out for incomes above roughly $254,000. Capital gains are taxed as ordinary income; a proposed surtax on very high incomes targets future tax years, not 2025.

Common questions

How is crypto taxed in Rhode Island?
At the federal level, crypto is property and gains are taxed as short- or long-term capital gains. At the state level, Rhode Island taxes crypto capital gains as ordinary income — the same rate as your wages, with no long-term discount.
Does Rhode Island have a lower rate for long-term crypto gains?
No — unlike the federal system, Rhode Island does not give long-term gains a preferential state rate; they're taxed the same as short-term gains.
