entergy arkansas customers can win big on super tax days

01/27/2020

qualified entergy arkansas customers will receive free tax preparation and have a chance to win money at entergy’s super tax day events held saturdays in february.

super tax day is entergy arkansas’ kickoff event to the tax preparation season. customers who agree to save part of their total refund at super tax day events will have an opportunity to win up to $50 in cash through a scratch off card promotion and will be entered in other drawings including a $10,000 grand prize from the national save your refund program.

customers unable to attend a super tax day event in their area can still receive free tax preparation services at one of the entergy-sponsored volunteer income tax assistance sites through april 15.

at local vita sites, irs-certified volunteers – including some from entergy arkansas will also help determine if the taxpayers are eligible to claim federal earned income tax credits.

eitc is one of the nation’s most effective means of lifting needy americans out of poverty. since 2009, entergy’s super tax day program has helped return $258 million to 150,000 residents throughout the company’s utility service area in arkansas, louisiana, mississippi and texas.

in arkansas, more than 32,603 have received $52,912,883 in tax refunds since the program began in 2011.

services provided through super tax day and the vita program help power lives for customers, who can gain long-term benefits by claiming eitc. by putting customers’ hard-earned money back in their pockets, super tax day is helping improve customers’ lives and investing in a brighter future for the communities in which we serve.
