Anybody? No? Well…
Even though we got a bit of a reprieve this year — tax day falls on April 17 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.

To help make up for how terrible tax day is, lots of businesses are offering free stuff and special deals.
