Money Tips

Tax season is already a stressful time, so restaurants and businesses help take the edge off by offering Tax Day freebies. Tax Day happens every April 15 (unless it falls on a weekend), and this year, Tax Day will happen on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.

Like in previous years, we expect to see plenty of food deals, including some just on Tax Day in celebration of completing your taxes. Plus, we’ve got even more ways you can save when you take advantage of Tax Day deals, including tax software and more.

Besides the regular slate of Wednesday restaurant deals, here’s a quick list of all the Tax Day food deals we expect this year on April 15, based on what we saw last Tax Day.

Offers, prices, savings, and local participation may vary.

Tax Day is an annual event where you can get food deals all day long.

Watch for restaurants and businesses to celebrate the end of the tax season by offering discounts and freebies. The most common tax form — Form 1040 — is referenced often. For example, we've seen $10 off $40 order deals at BJ's and California Pizza Kitchen. Most Tax Day deals are good on April 15 only.

Tax Day happens every year on April 15.

The federal income tax filing deadline is April 15 every year, unless April 15 falls on a weekend or observed holiday in Washington, D.C. If that happens, it’ll bump to the next business day. In 2026, Tax Day will take place on Wednesday, April 15.
