(Wednesday, February 11, 2009) – The Earned Income Tax Credit Super Saturday was an overwhelming success. But City of Little Rock officials want to remind taxpayers that it was not the only opportunity for free tax preparation for Federal and State income taxes.

Eleven sites in Pulaski County are open for free tax preparation. “Many people do not realize that this service is available,” noted Little Rock City Director Ken Richardson. “It is free, and there are eleven sites in the County—seven of those are within the Little Rock city limits, it is near to almost any resident.”
