It’s Tax Day in the U.S., with the deadline to file on Tuesday, April 15, but there are certain states where the IRS has extended the filing and payment deadlines in light of natural disasters.
All taxpayers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and specific locations in Alaska, New Mexico, and Virginia have until May 1, taxpayers in Los Angeles have until October 15, and people in Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee, and certain counties in West Virginia, have until November 3 to file, reports CBS News. (You can search to see if your area has extended deadlines on the IRS website.)
And while the saying that there are no free lunches usually holds true, on Tax Day, many franchises are stepping up with exceptions of their own: free and deeply discounted deals to help soften the bad taste most people get in their mouths on April 15th.
