U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke will be in Minneapolis Tuesday to talk about tax credits available to families as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

During the round-table discussion, Locke will highlight an online tool to help families determine whether they are eligible for new tax benefits. The Tax Savings Tool can be found at www.WhiteHouse.gov/Recovery.

According to the Department of Commerce, families are often not fully aware of all tax code changes and might miss out on possible savings. There are over a dozen new tax benefits available to taxpayers and businesses.

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak will also be part of the discussion.
