In addition to getting some extra cash in your wallet, tax season is coming with a whole new bonus – three extra days to file. Tax Day, which usually falls on April 15, is getting pushed to Tuesday, April 18. And, as if the extended deadline isn't enough of a Tax Day miracle, a bunch of restaurants are helping you celebrate filing your return with some pretty sweet food and drink deals. This is basically free food and free money all rolled into one, guys. Win-win!
