Entergy Mississippi Kicks Off Super Tax Day on Super Bowl Weekend

01/25/2017

JACKSON, Mississippi – On Super Bowl weekend, volunteers with Entergy Mississippi, Jackson Asset Building Coalition and United Way are kicking off the tax season by making sure the big winners are local customers who claim their Earned Income Tax Credit.

On Super Tax Day, scheduled for Feb. 4 at Jackson’s MetroCenter Mall, these trained volunteers are providing free tax preparation for working families. MetroCenter Mall is also a partner in the event.

“Providing assistance in securing Earned Income Tax Credits through Super Tax Day events helps our customers and our communities,” said Amy Reed, Entergy Mississippi public affairs representative. “Super Tax Day offers long-term benefits that help power customers’ lives now and in the future. This Super Bowl weekend, visitors to our Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites will be the real winners.”

Entergy’s support of the VITA program in the four states the utility serves – Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas – has resulted in approximately 93,000 customers receiving $162 million through the EITC program since 2011. In Mississippi, more than 18,800 residents have received nearly $41.4 million since Entergy Mississippi launched the program by partnering with local advocates six years ago.
