EITC is one of the nation’s most effective means of lifting needy Americans out of poverty. In Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, Entergy has helped approximately 111,000 customers receive $195 million through the EITC program since 2011.
In Texas, more than 8,200 residents have been received more than $11.5 million. This is money that provides long-term benefits to help customers improve their lives and communities.
Free tax prep is provided at VITA sites throughout the 2018 tax season. In addition to Saturday’s Super Tax Day, another event is scheduled to take place on Feb. 10 at Lone Star College’s Conroe Center.
