The Government Might Not Give You A Tax Refund, But Pizza Hut Will (Maybe)

It's time to fill out your P-2.

Chances are you've already completed your Form 1040 this year if you're filing taxes (which, um, you should). Don't breathe easy just yet -- if you're a Pizza Hut fan, it's time to fill out your P-2.

On Monday morning, Pizza Hut unveiled the "Pizza Hut National Pizza Return." According to a press release, the company is issuing a form just like a regular tax return, called a "P-2," which customers can fill out and win "their net pizza return" in gift cards. Those who'd like to enter should print out their very own P-2 form (which you can download here), print it, send it to the address found here by April 21.

Below is a picture of the form:

"Unless you've got a big return coming your way, tax season can be a time of dread for people across the country," said Jared Drinkwater, Pizza Hut's vice president of marketing. "At Pizza Hut, we truly believe your hard-earned pizza belongs in your hands, so we created the Pizza Hut National Pizza Return."

However, the likelihood that you actually get something back on your return seems less likely than Pizza Hut makes it out to be. According to the National Pizza Return rules, there will only be two Grand Prize winners, 30 first prize winners and 30 third-place winners, which is determined by a "random drawing." Though there's no way to tell how many people will enter, taking the time to fill out this form and mail it in (by April 21, no less) seems just as time consuming as doing taxes. The answers on the P-2 don't even count!

Patrons might have better luck following MLB this season and looking out for Domino's "No-Hitter" offer. With 40,000 available chances to win, it seems like a much better chance you'll get lucky.

Before You Go

Cock-A-Doodle Bacon™
Pizza Hut
What it is: Creamy garlic Parmesan sauce topped with grilled chicken, hardwood smoked bacon and diced Roma tomatoes – flavored up with toasted Parmesan on the crust edge.

Why we hate it:We're supposed to wake up and want bacon on our pizza -- that's what this pizza is telling us, right? This makes us want to stay in bed and hide from the world.
Giddy-Up BBQ Chicken™
Pizza Hut
What it is: Barbeque sauce topped with grilled chicken, hardwood smoked bacon and fresh red onions – flavored up with toasted cheddar on the crust edge and a barbeque sauce drizzle.

Why we hate it: Can you imagine saying "giddy-up" when you call to order your pizza? We rest our case.
Buffalo State of Mind™
Pizza Hut
What it is: Buffalo sauce topped with grilled chicken, sliced banana peppers and fresh red onions – flavored up with toasted cheddar on the crust edge and a Buffalo sauce drizzle.

Why we hate it: The pizza sounds pretty delicious, but the name is just painfully cheesy. It rings in our ears.
Pretzel Piggy™
Pizza Hut
What it is: Creamy garlic Parmesan sauce topped with hardwood smoked bacon, fresh mushrooms and fresh spinach – flavored up with a salted pretzel crust edge and balsamic sauce drizzle.

Why we hate it: Piggy? Make it stop!
Hot and Twisted™
Pizza Hut
What it is: Premium crushed tomato sauce topped with premium salami, sliced jalapeño peppers and fresh red onions – flavored up with a salted pretzel crust edge.

Why we hate it: This name just makes us feel ill. And uncomfortable, and guilty too. Did we do something wrong by wanting to order this pizza? It sure sounds like it.
Skinny Beach™
Pizza Hut
What it is: Premium crushed tomato sauce with grilled chicken, fresh red onions, Peruvian cherry peppers and fresh spinach.

Why we hate it: This name leaves us with very little words and almost too much frustration to think straight. First of all, it makes no sense (but then again, neither do any of the names.) It it a play on the term "skinny bitch," the title of a diet book, a cocktail, and most upsettingly, a derogatory term for a woman? Or is it referring to the actual beach somehow? (The ingredients certainly give no indication.) Are we forced now to consider our "beach bodies" when ordering a pizza? It's all wrong, whatever the intention. Quite simply, it's just bad taste.
