Tax Day (or as it's otherwise known, the procrastinator's Superbowl) can be filled with stresses and problems. Do you have all your receipts? Can you take that deduction? Would the IRS notice if you had three kids this year? These are the questions we ask ourselves as the moment of doom ticks closer.
Of course, you can always file for an extension, but for many, this is the day to file taxes. Post offices will stay open late for those last minute filers (and those who haven't heard of the Internet).
But, the good news, is that companies feel your pain and they're here to take advantage... err... offer some relief to you late filers.
Offers.com rounded up a list of the very best deals available to us today to celebrate (or mourn), filing our taxes.
Check out the list below:
