Rhode Island General Laws Title 44. Taxation § 44-23-11. Tentative assessment

At the request of an executor, administrator, or trustee the tax administrator may make a tentative assessment of taxes under the provisions of §§ 44-22-1 and 44-22-1.1, whichever section is in effect at the time, to prevent interest charges on the amount of the tentative assessment, and shall accept payment of that sum, and when the taxes have been finally determined, the general treasurer shall, upon certification by the tax administrator and with the approval of the controller, repay to the executor, administrator, or trustee the difference between the taxes so determined and the amount of the tentative assessment, or the tax administrator shall collect any deficiency in the taxes together with interest on the deficiency, if any is due.
