Freebies, Discounts For Tax Day 2017: Beer, Massage, Books, Plane Tickets

WASHINGTON, DC — Businesses around the Washington, DC, area are rewarding people for doing their taxes. From free massages to a free beer, here are the best spots to find a return on your investment for doing taxes. All deals are only available on Tuesday, April 18, unless noted. And some stores within chains may not participate, so always ask in advance.
