tax-dayWASHINGTON, (April 15, 2014) — Even if Uncle Sam doesn’t give you a break this tax season, there are plenty of businesses offering freebies to lessen the blow of filing:

Arby’s
The fast-food chain is giving away snack-sized curly fries with a coupon you can get from their website.

Office Depot
The store will shred up to five pounds of paper for you with a coupon you can print online.

Pizza Hut

Order a large pizza and one of three sides for $10.99 online only. Enter the promo code TAXDAY for the deal.

Sonic

Get drinks and slushes for half-price all day.

Boston Market

Get two half chicken individual meals for $10.40. No coupon needed, Apr. 15 only.

Free electronic filing is also available for those who have not filed their taxes yet. It’s based on adjusted gross income, age, or active military status.

When e-filing is completed, taxpayers can check on their refund status by clicking the “Check My Income Tax Info” box on the site. The Michigan Department of Treasury recommends waiting at least 14 before checking on refund status.
