Tax Day Freebies and Deals for 2024

It's a Taxing Time

Tax Day is one of the most stressful "holidays" of the year. To help take the sting out of paying Uncle Sam and relieve the anxiety of rushing to file on time, a number of stores and restaurants have offered deals in previous years to mark the tax deadline — Monday, April 15, this year. Some offers are valid only at participating locations, so be sure to contact your local store or restaurant.

2. Southwest Airlines

This year, you can earn 1,000 Rapid Rewards bonus points for Southwest Airlines if you use TurboTax to file your taxes by April 17. Just in time for summer travel.
