2023 Tax Day freebies in Brevard: Restaurant deals, promo codes, discounts and free food

Financial planner Dan Moisand: "The tax rates applicable to the same taxable income are higher for singles than couples filing a joint return. As a result, many surviving spouses pay more in taxes than the couple paid prior to the deceased spouse’s death. This dynamic is what some call the widow’s penalty."

Updated 6:50 p.m. April 16.

According to an old Morgan Stanley ad, "You must pay taxes. But there's no law that says you gotta leave a tip."

You might consider tipping, though, if you head out Tuesday to take advantage of one of these Tax Day deals.

April 15 fell on a Saturday this year, and April 17 is recognized as Emancipation Day in Washington, D.C. That means we've got a few extra days to sort out those forms. And once it's all in the mail, several national restaurant chains — and one local hangout — are offering specials and discounts to help ease the pain and stress of paying Uncle Sam.

Unless otherwise noted, these deals are only available on Tuesday.
