Only on April 15th, some businesses are reaching out to “ease the tax burden”. A great marketing tactic, but in the meantime it will get you some free stuff.

From WalletPop.com

“MaggieMoo’s Ice Cream & Treatery is giving away a treat on Income Tax Day, April 15th, to help us ice down the pain of filing. The free single scoop of ice cream is what it calls its ‘ec-cone-omic’ ice cream stimulus package. There are Moo’s in or opening soon in 44 states. You can find the one nearest you here.

Cinnabon is dishing out free Classic Bites from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at participating locations. The site does not, however, list which sites are participating. I’ll guess you’ll have to ask.
Taco Del Mar is offering a free taco, but you’ll have to fill out its form beforehand to receive by mail or email the “Free Taco 1099″ coupon.
The Baltimore Sun reports that Baltimore area McDonald’s will be giving away hot and iced McCafés on April 15th.
The makers of the HyrdoMassage Bed is offering free Hyrdromassages at hundreds of outlets across the country. Check its web site for locations near you.”
Here’s some more:

McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants are offering special $10.40 entrees as well as a $10.40 dinner certificate for a future visit. P.F. Chang’s China Bistro is taking 15 percent off food and drink bills on April 15, according to the banner on its Web site. And T.G.I. Friday’s will give away $5 and $10 Bonus Bites cards on April 15, depending on how much you spend  (via Baltimore Restaurant Examiner).

You can also get a large pizza with three free toppings for $10.40 from Papa John’s now through Wednesday, April 15 by ordering online and entering the promo code “1040″. (via Baltimore Holidays Examiner).

The Frugalista Files shares this tip: save 15 percent at Walgreens.com through April 20 with the code TAXED at checkout.
