Introduction to Tax Day 2025 Dining Deals
Yes, Floridians have extra time this year to file their taxes. (Have you heard about the May 1 extension?) But Tuesday, April 15, is still officially Tax Day in the United States. As such, eateries are offering freebies and discounts to hungry taxpayers, whether they’re filing now or later. So, it doesn’t matter if you’re dining in to celebrate your refund, chowing down on takeout while toiling over a pile of receipts, or rolling through a drive-thru on the way to the post office, there’s a way to save on your next meal. (Note: There are several discounts inspired by Form 1040, the U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.)
