Free Tax Return Prep
Entergy Arkansas, partners to provide free tax return prep for qualified customers at Super Tax Days
Little Rock, Ark - IRS-certified volunteers with Entergy Arkansas and several community partners will offer free tax preparation through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program at Super Tax Day events across the state to help customers in need maximize their tax refund.
Qualified taxpayers include those with a 2024 income of less than $67,000, those with disabilities, and limited-English speaking households. Customers will have access to essential information about qualifying tax credit and deductions, including the federal Earned Income Tax Credit, a key program that helps lift many Americans out of poverty.
For nearly 20 years, Entergy has provided free tax preparation customers at VITA sites throughout its four-state service region, including several locations across Arkansas. Last year, VITA volunteers helped file 9,313 tax returns in the state, which resulted in $4.4 million in ETIC dollars and $11.5 million total in tax refunds to Arkansans.
For the most accurate assistance and timely filing, customers should bring their government-issued photo identification; Social Security card of ITIN for self, spouse and all dependents; all wage and earnings statements, such as Form W-2 or 1099; Form 1095-A Health Insurance statements; IRS Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN); and banking information for direct deposit. For a complete checklist, visit www.irs.gov/individuals/checklist-for-free-tax-return-preparation.
In addition to tax preparation at Super Tax Day, customers will also receive information on how to enroll their children ages 16 and younger in Kids to College, a free child savings account powered by Entergy. Entergy will contribute $50 and match any savings in the account up to $500 this calendar year for each child.
Additional service providers will also be on hand to help customers as well, including Arkansas Minority Health Commission, Central Arkansas Development Council, Entergy Solutions, IRS Taxpayer Advocate Service, Legal Aid of Arkansas, Southern Bancorp and UA-Little Rock Bowen School of Law Low Income Tax Clinic.
In Northeast Arkansas, the Super Tax Day will be Saturday, February 22 from 9am to 1pm at St. Bernards Medical Center Auditorium, 505 East Washington Avenue in Jonesboro.
VITA services are not only free but are also a reliable and trusted source for preparing tax returns. All volunteers who prepare returns must pass tax law training that meets or exceeds IRS standards. This training includes maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of all taxpayer information. In addition to requiring volunteers to certify their knowledge of the tax laws, the IRS requires a quality review check for every return prepared at a VITA site prior to filing.
Customers unable to attend an event in their area can still receive free, in-person tax preparation services by scheduling an appointment at one of several Entergy-sponsored VITA sites through April 15 or using the no-cost, online counseling services at www.entergy.com/freetaxhelp/.
