FILE- In this April 24, 2017, photo, corporate signage hangs at a McDonald’s restaurant in downtown Pittsburgh. McDonald’s announced Tuesday, March 6, 2018, that it is offering fresh beef rather than frozen patties in some burgers at thousands of restaurants, a switch it first announced about a year ago as it works to appeal to customers who want fresher foods. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic, File) Preparing your tax returns may not be the most enjoyable effort — and that has companies trying to leverage that sentiment with the increasingly common “tax day freebie.” Dozens of national and local businesses are rolling out discounts and deals on April 17, this year’s deadline for filing federal tax returns. Their goal is to offer benefits to help “stressed-out taxpayers,” said Carson Yarbrough, savings expert at Offers.com. MORE: Tardy on your taxes? Don’t wait to file an extension To be sure, the deals are geared to ultimately help the businesses by building their brands through earning goodwill from customers. And if a customer happens to pick up a few other items while stopping in for a tax day freebie, all the better. “The bulk of these deals are only offered on the official day, April 17, but a few deals started early and some extend past Tuesday,” Yarbrough said. “Some of the deals are general freebies, while other restaurants and retailers are offering discount prices, reflecting the ‘stats and numbers’ reminiscent of Tax Season — like Boston Market’s deal for a $10.40 meal special, playing up the Form 1040 reference.” Here are some of the best tax day freebies: Hardee’s On April 17th from 7-10am, stop by Hardee’s for one FREE SAUSAGE BISCUIT—just mention MADE FROM SCRATCH. We promise you it’s free, but it definitely doesn’t taste free. pic.twitter.com/vUrFpljiT8 — Hardee’s (@Hardees) April 16, 2018 The fast-food chain is giving away sausage biscuit sandwiches from 7 a.m. until 10 a.m. on Tuesday. The key: Customers need to say the password “Made from Scratch” to get the deal, according to a spokesman. It’s the first time Hardee’s has offered a tax day deal. Bruegger’s Bagels To do list: Find your W-2, file your taxes and choose your bagel flavors… because a Big Bagel Bundle is only $10.40 this Tax Day! https://t.co/sUSLFPEWlQ (📷: @lo_hillsborough via IG) pic.twitter.com/B6umXE2a2t — Bruegger's (@Brueggers) April 16, 2018 The bagel chain is offering its “Big Bagel Bundle” for $10.40 on Tuesday. The bundle includes 13 bagels and two tubs of cream cheese, which the company says is a savings of about $3.50 from the regular price. Quiznos The sandwich chain is offering another 1040 special — a discount of 10.40 percent from any purchase, including catering, on Tuesday. The company said customers who download its loyalty app will also receive a free four-inch sub sandwich. Applebee’s It may not be an exclusive tax day freebee, but the “dollarita” — a margarita that costs one dollar — is back this month. The promotion began on April 1 and is available only for dine-in customers. Bite Squad Online food ordering service Bite Squad is offering 7.5 percent off orders on Tuesday. To get the discount, use the code TAXDAY18 when ordering. Farmer Boys West Coast burger chain Farmer Boys is offering meal deals for $10.40 on Tuesday.

Cheese is providing a buy one, get one free offer on cheese pizzas from April 17 to 19, citing the tax deadline as a stressful time for families. For every large pizza ordered, the chain will provide one large cheese pizza for free. Grimaldi’s The pizza chain is offering another deal on a pie. On Tuesday, the chain will sell 16-inch traditional pizzas for $10.40. Gimaldi’s has locations in 13 states including California and Texas. Noodles & Co.
