April 15th is U.S.A Tax Day, the absolute final day for everyone to file taxes (one can begin filing on January 1st). I have a friend who works at a Tax Agency in Harrison, NJ and he told me that April 15th is one of the busiest day at their store ( Can you believe that??). An article on the IRS website says that the IRS expects to receive almost 9 million extension requests, which must be made by the normal filing deadline!!!
I came across a small list of interesting giveaways by stores and services in New York on Tax Day, in the local free newspaper A.M. New York.
- Staples is making free copies of tax returns on the sidewalk in front of the James Farley Post Office at 421, Eighth Ave.
- H & R Block locations throughout the city are serving Dunkin’ Donuts coffee and donuts.
- Dentyne is sponsoring free cups of coffee for New Yorkers on tax day at Space Market, 1 University Place and Big Cup, 288 Eighth Ave.
And here are my favorites...
- If you live in the Upper West Side, harlem, Washington heights or Inwood you can get free tax advice when you order a pizza today. Papa John’s is sending out certified accountants with their deliveries.....Wow!
