Entergy Partners with the IRS to Help Customers During Tax Season
03/09/2020
Our vision of We Power Life means working together to improve lives, create opportunities, strengthen communities and proactively find solutions to customers facing economic challenges.
That is why each tax season we partner with community advocates to support free IRS-certified preparation services for qualifying customers and help customers who qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit claim their refund.
Get Free Tax Preparation
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program offers free tax help to people who generally make $56,000 or less, persons with disabilities and limited English-speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their tax returns. Find a VITA site near you.
Claim Your Money
The Earned Income Tax Credit 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 our utility service area in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Find out more here.
“Services provided through Super Tax Day events and the VITA program help power life for working families who can gain long-term benefits by claiming EITC,” said Patty Riddlebarger, vice president of corporate social responsibility at Entergy. “By helping improve customers’ lives, we are investing in a brighter future for our communities.”
As part of Entergy’s ongoing efforts to empower low-income customers and help them achieve economic self-sufficiency, we’re helping spread the word about the Internal Revenue Service’s tools and resources. The IRS designed these tools to help you save time, money and find the tax benefits that meet your specific circumstances this filing season.
