Comfort food: To offset the pain of filing taxes today, national food chains are offering free or reduced-price items, including Cinnabon, Starbucks and McCormick and Schmick’s seafood restaurant, which is offering dinner specials for $10.40.

But to qualify for the special deals, the head of household must file Form 5315-G, with information from the 5315-G worksheet, which must be notarized and submitted with receipts for all previous fast-food meals totaling less than 2 percent of the spouse’s supplemental monthly income for determining the excise tax on all nondeductible coconut shrimp appetizer plates.

Historical footnote: Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities said that the mummified toe of King Tutankhamun’s father, which was stolen in 1907, has been returned to Egypt.

The toe was stolen by archeologists playing a drunken game of “This Little Piggy Went to Market.”
