How Rhode Island Taxes 1099 Income in 2026

Rhode Island taxes 1099 income using progressive brackets with a top rate of 5.99%. Your net self-employment profit (1099 income minus business expenses) is taxed as ordinary income — on top of the federal 15.3% self-employment tax and federal income tax at 10%-37%.

Rhode Island Taxable Income (Single)Rate
$0 – $73,4503.75%
$73,450 – $166,9504.75%
Over $166,9505.99%

There is no separate state self-employment tax — Rhode Island simply taxes your Schedule C profit at the rates above. Most states do not allow the federal 20% QBI deduction, so your RI taxable income is typically higher than your federal taxable income.

If you expect to owe Rhode Island income tax on your 1099 earnings, plan on state quarterly estimated payments in addition to federal Form 1040-ES. Most states follow the federal schedule: April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15.
