Whether you want to spend your tax refund (or save it because you owed the IRS this year), retailers and restaurants are giving you a reason to celebrate Tax Day on April 17, 2018.
Some restaurants will be handing out free food, and plenty of stores will be running sales that coincide with Tax Day. Details and participation may vary by franchise, however, so call ahead and check to make sure the location closest to you is participating.
