Several restaurants are making the burden of Tax Day on April 17 a little bit easier to handle by offering free food and discounted meals.
April 17, the deadline to file income taxes to the IRS, is a day many people dread. After shelling out money to Uncle Sam, and hopefully successfully avoiding some of the biggest tax scams, eating a yummy dinner just may not seem affordable. Thankfully, several restaurants are stepping up to the plate and making the day a little more bearable, according to PEOPLE.
