Tax Day 2017: All the Best Freebies and Deals

Unless you're getting a big refund, Tax Day is generally a bummer. And if you are expecting a fat check back from the government, you're probably handling your taxes wrong—so that's a bummer too.

One thing that everyone can celebrate about Tax Day is the abundance of special discounts and freebies available all across the country, no matter state you file in. We've rounded up a bunch of worthy giveaways and deals below. Take note that some are valid well before and sometimes after the last day to file taxes, which is Tuesday, April 18, this year.
