<DIV>Hi, Everyone.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Rhode Island Division of Taxation’s main customer service phone line, (401) 574-8829, has been repaired and is now up and running.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The line experienced sporadic outages this morning and early this afternoon, amid heavy volume, with the tax-filing deadline a week away.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The agency has posted an Advisory that provides details. Here's the link:</DIV>
