So, let’s talk about how much we’re all totally looking forward to Tax Day!
Anybody? No? Well…
Even though we got a bit of a reprieve this year — Tax Day falls on the 18th instead of the 15th — lots of us are still dreading the due date.
After all, paperwork is annoying, deductions can be confusing, and you may end up owing a huge bill you didn’t expect.
In fact, Tax Day creates so much angst, many of us would rather scrub Chipotle toilets for three years than do our taxes ever again.
But before you grab your trustiest set of rubber gloves, wait a second! There’s a silver lining after all: free stuff and awesome deals.
Tax Day Freebies and Deals
To help make up for how terrible Tax Day is, lots of businesses are offering free stuff and special deals.
Here are 18 of the best from around the web to turn your Tax Day frown upside down.
Free Food
Tax forms are way more annoying to fill out on an empty stomach.
Here’s where to get free food on April 18.
1. Great American Cookies is offering customers a free chocolate chip cookie to help them combat Tax-Day-related stress.
“Whether or not you’re receiving a refund this year, Great American Cookies is here to add some more dough to your life,” punned vice president David Kaiser.
Just drop by your local store and ask — at least you’ll be a cookie richer!
2. Hard Rock Cafe will hook you up with a free “Legendary” burger if you get on stage and sing a song.
Hey, after getting through all that paperwork, you can do anything, right?

Its motto? “No taxation without relaxation!” Swing by your favorite location for a free shaved ice.
4. Bananas Smoothies & Frozen Yogurt knows how crazy Tax Day gets for CPAs.
So if you swing by and flash your license, you’ll get a free smoothie on the 17th and 18th before the Tax Day deadline!
