    You will report the interest you earned on Fed Sch B.  Follow these steps:

    1. go to federal income,
    2. interest, 
    3. skip import,
    4. received from -enter description like son's mortgage
    5. enter amount of interest
    6. continue, none,
    7. continue

    Rhode Island does tax non-source income but interest is only taxed when associated with a business or trade. Yours would not be taxable  according to RI DOR.
