Ahh, glorious Tax Day is once again soon upon us. I've still yet to finish mine. Or…start them. Hooray Capitalism! At least I'm a few steps ahead of Homer Simpson since I know it's time to actually do them.
While I toil away at figuring out which of my cats count as dependents (hey, they couldn't live without me!), enjoy this list of 2025 Tax Day freebies, deals, and giveaways! I should note, you may see other frugal sites reporting additional freebies, but I didn't include those. Everything below are offers with hard evidence for them online.
Unless otherwise noted, these offers are available on Tuesday, April 15, 2025 only.
2025 Tax Day Freebies
7-Eleven – They're offering an exclusive Tax Day deal via the 7NOW delivery app. When customers order $20 or more using the code WRITEOFF on April 15, they will receive $10.40 off the order.
Bob Evans – In lieu of a freebie or discount, this year Bob Evans is holding a sweepstakes. Now through April 15, people can enter for a chance to win one of 24 free comfort kits filled with cozy items like a fluffy rove, heated coffee mug, and a year's supply of Bob Evans products. You can enter on either their Instagram or Facebook pages:
On Instagram, you must follow Bob Evans, like the giveaway post and tag a friend who could use a hearty serving of comfort in the comments with #Sweepstakes.
On Facebook, you must comment on the giveaway post with #Sweepstakes and mention what Bob Evans product is their ultimate comfort food.
California Tortilla – You'll get one free small chips and queso (or salsa) with any purchase if you say the secret password. The password will be released on their Instagram and in years past it's been “1040.”
Casey's – Rewards members who purchase any large pizza on April 15 will receive a “Pizza Refund” in the form of a free large one-topping pizza credit to their Rewards account. This freebie can be used on a future purchase over the following 21 days, so be sure to redeem it before May 6!
Denny's -They're flipping the script with a deal worth writing off (on your breakfast calendar, at least): a limited-time BOGO for $1 Grand Slam dine-in deal that lasts beyond Tax Day, all the way until May 9.
Great American Cookie – They're offering a sweet treat relief in the form of a BOGO on their classic Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake slices. Man, I really wish I had one of these near me!

Shake Shack – They're enlisted actor Brian Baumgartner from The Office (looool) to help let people know that on April 15 customers who make a purchase of $10.40 or more and enter promo code TRUFFLETAX will get their choice of a Black Truffle Burger, Black Truffle ’Shroom, or Black Truffle Parmesan Fries. The burgers normally retail for $10.49, so this is essentially a BOGO promo and it runs through April 27.

Unconfirmed Tax Day Deals
I have seen many other freebie sites and news agencies report dozens of Tax Day deals that I feel are completely unverified. I have found zero proof whatsoever they exist. None of them have official links to back up their claims and none of the restaurants are advertising the deals on their websites, mailing lists, social media, or press releases.
It's almost as if these websites are all copying each other's list without doing any actual legwork to confirm their veracity. It's like we're in 2005 all over again!
It's kinda wild to me that large sites like The Krazy Coupon Lady, Yahoo, Food Network, Retail Me Not, or People Magazine (to name just a few of the MANY sites!) have wrong, unverified information on their sites that mislead their readers, but people just don't seem to care 🤷♂️
Anyway, since I'm unable to confirm the validity of these Tax Day offers, I'm not adding the following restaurants to HIF.
- Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings
- Arby's
- BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse
- Buffalo Wild Wings
- BurgerFi
- California Pizza Kitchen
- Checkers
- Dog Haus
- Fazoli's
- Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers
- Grimaldi's
- Happy Joe's
- Hooters
- Kolache Factory
- Krystal
- Mountain Mike's Pizza
- Noodles & Company
- Olive Garden
- Paris Baguette
- Rally's
- Round Table Pizza
- Shipley Do-Nuts
- Smoothie King
- TGI Fridays
As always, if you know about a freebie I missed or have any confirmations for a store listed above, then please share it with me and other Hiffers alike in the comments!
