Happy Tax Day! Enjoy these freebies, deals in El Paso

Tuesday, April 18, is Tax Day, the deadline for United States residents to file their income tax or ask for an extension.

As of March 31, the Internal Revenue Service reported it had received 90 million returns, and the average refund amount was $2,910. (If you're still scrambling to file your return, make sure to apply for an extension.)

Whether you're getting a return or owe money, you can take advantage of deals and freebies some restaurants and retailers are offering to mark the Tuesday tax return deadline.

Here are a few promotions, from free shaved ice to discounted donuts, so you can celebrate being done with your taxes.

When is Tax Day 2023?

The deadline to file your federal tax return is April 18. This year, Americans had three extra days to file because the deadline was pushed back. The typical April 15 deadline falls on a Saturday this year and April 17 marks Emancipation Day, a holiday observed in Washington D.C.

Kona Ice

The treat is happening around the country. And in El Paso, residents can find the parked Kona Ice truck at the El Paso County Clerk's Office, 500 E San Antonio Ave. Suite 105 from 1 to 3 p.m. The truck will hand out free cups of tropical shaved ice to all who stop by.

The free treat is just one of the ways Kona Ice tries to put a smile on people's faces in its communities. Through partnerships with schools, youth sports leagues and other neighborhood organizations, Kona Ice has given back more than $135 million to the communities it serves, according to a release.
