As Tax Day approaches on April 15, 2025, many Americans are gearing up to file their income tax returns. But instead of just feeling the stress of tax season, several restaurants and chains across the U.S. are offering enticing deals to sweeten the day. From free doughnuts to discounted meals, here's a roundup of the best Tax Day freebies and discounts available this year.
Krispy Kreme is leading the charge with a delightful offer for doughnut lovers. On April 15, customers who purchase any dozen doughnuts in-store will receive a second dozen of Original Glazed doughnuts for the price of sales tax in their state. For those who prefer to order online, using the promo code "TAXBREAK" will also net them a free dozen with the purchase of a dozen at regular price. However, there's a limit of two dozen per guest in-store and one free dozen for online orders. Dave Skena, Krispy Kreme's Chief Growth Officer, shared, "We know how stressful tax season can be, so we’re making the last day to file your taxes a little sweeter with this great offer."
Hooters is also participating in the Tax Day festivities, offering customers one select appetizer for just $4.15 when they apply their rewards in the Hooters app at checkout. Options include fan favorites like mozzarella sticks, fried pickles, chips and queso, and buffalo shrimp, making it a great way to enjoy a meal without breaking the bank.
Fast-food chain Burger King is getting in on the action as well, offering a one-cent cheeseburger to Royal Perks members with any purchase of $1 or more. This deal is accessible through the BK app and website, but it’s worth noting that it’s not valid during breakfast hours, on delivery, or in Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories. Customers are encouraged to check the app for more details, as this offer is limited to participating locations.
7-Eleven is making Tax Day a bit easier on wallets with a deal exclusively available through the 7Now Delivery app. Customers can receive $10.40 off any order of $20 or more by using the code "WRITEOFF."

Grimaldi’s Pizzeria is providing a special deal as well, offering $10.40 off any order of $30 or more with the code "TAXDAY25" on April 15. However, this offer excludes locations in New York, New Jersey, Flagstaff, Arizona, and the Las Vegas Palazzo, so customers should check if their local pizzeria is eligible.
