2. have no Rhode Island source income other than from the pass-through entity filing the composite return; and
3. elect to participate in the composite by filing an election form (RI Form 1040C-NR) with the entity. The election form is to be kept on file by the entity for inspection by personnel of the Rhode Island Division of Taxation.
