Papa John's offers tax day special
April 9, 2008
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Papa John's is offering a slice of tax relief with a "1040" online special: a large, original crust pizza with up to three toppings for just $10.40. This is the third year the company has offered the special.
From April 13-15, 2008, customers can get a tax break simply by entering the "1040" promotional code when placing their online orders via the company's Web site.
When Papa John's first introduced the 1040 special in 2006, more than 73 million people filed their taxes online, up seven percent from the year before, according to the Internal Revenue Service. The number of e-filers rose by nine percent the following year, when more than 79 million people submitted their returns online. And in 2008, the number of e-filers already is up six percent over last year.
Not to leave out the traditionalists, many Papa John's restaurants will feed free pizza to overworked postal workers and frazzled filers at local post offices across the country on April 15.
