  • Several businesses are offering discounts and free products on April 15. That’s especially true of restaurants, with one-cent cheeseburgers and free doughnuts.

April 15 is always kind of a bittersweet day. Filing your taxes is a slog, even if you are expecting to get a refund. But it doesn’t have to be all bad.

Sure, this year could be even more chaotic, with staff cuts at the Internal Revenue Service and general uncertainty about the direction of the IRS. But to make that less stressful, there are plenty of free and discounted deals being offered this year from restaurants and other businesses.

Here are a few to keep an eye out for while you’re out and about on Tax Day:

Free and cheap food for Tax Day 2025

Krispy Kreme

Guests who purchase an Assorted or Original Glazed dozen at regular price will only pay the sales tax on a second Original Glazed dozen. And if you order online, use the code TAXBREAK to get a second dozen of Original Glazed.

Burger King

If you’re a member of the company’s Royal Perks loyalty program, you can get a cheeseburger for one cent with a purchase of $1 or more.

Great American Cookies

Buy a slice of chocolate chip cookie cake and you’ll get a second one as well.

Kona Ice

Miss the giveaway on the first day of Spring? The company is offering a free shaved ice to everyone on tax day as well.

Checkers & Rally’s

Get a spicy chicken or crispy fish sandwich for just $3 on April 15 only.

Shake Shack

Grab a free single Black Truffle Burger, Black Truffle ‘Shroom or Black Truffle Parmesan Fries with a purchase of $10.40 or more. You’ll need to use the code TRUFFLETAX. The good news, though, is this deal runs through April 27.

Casey’s Pizza

Buy a large pizza from the chain and you’ll get a “pizza refund,” which can be exchanged for a free, large one-topping pie between now and May 6.

Smoothie King

If you’re a Smoothie King Healthy Rewards Member, you’ll get $3 off any $15 purchase and $4 off of any $20 purchase.

Olive Garden

While it’s not exactly a tax day break, the chain is in the middle of its “Buy One, Take One” promotion, meaning you can take home a second order when you dine in the restaurant.

California Pizza Kitchen

Take $10 off any purchase of $40 or more. This deal runs through April 17.

Fazoli’s
