Company teams with United Way and Kroger to provide free tax prep

The Woodlands, TX – On Super Bowl weekend, Entergy Texas, Montgomery County United Way and Kroger are kicking off the tax season by making sure the big winners are local customers who claim their Earned Income Tax Credit.

Super Tax Day will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, February 4 in Willis at the Parent Support Center, located at 606 N. Campbell Street. In addition to tax preparation assistance, Entergy’s local community partners are also offering a number of programs designed to help families use tax refunds to increase savings and financial well-being. Programs such as financial coaching, budget workshops, healthy food and lifestyle choices are some of the many services offered at Super Tax Day.

“Providing assistance in securing Earned Income Tax Credits through Super Tax Day events helps our customers and our communities,” said Vernon Pierce, Entergy Texas vice president of customer service. “New tools and programs mean Entergy’s Super Tax Day events have long-term benefits that help power customers’ lives now and in the future. This Super Bowl weekend, visitors to our VITA 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 Texas, more than 6,500 residents have received $8,733,662 since Entergy Texas launched the program by partnering with local advocates six years ago.
