It looks to work without any additional purchase, looks like you still need to pay tax, $0.13 for me when I go to checkout.

I'm unable to checkout, or even add a credit card, to the 0.00 purchase. Says "invalid billing method" at the top.

Deal says, "in app".

Deal says "free".
But who'd even bother attempting such devastatingly complex instructions just to get a free donut? Right?

Tax on a free donut? Must be an individual states' tax quirk & a pretty sucky one I might add.

That's typically how these deals work. The semantics go like this: the donut is not free; a coupon is applied that pays for the price of the donut. So, you still have to pay taxes on the original price. It's similar to how you still have to pay taxes if you use a gift card.

If on the other hand the selling price before any discount codes or coupons was set to $0, you would not have to pay taxes.

So there is no such thing as totally free where you live? By that metric, 50% off sales should get full price taxes & any BOGO taxed as two full priced items, etc.

Lucky us. We just get charged on the bottom line, no matter how we got there. So to me, that's just mean.

Surprisingly, no. Taxes are reduced on those because...............reasons? I guess it's seen as a new sale price instead of an "instant rebate".

It's odd. I have received completely free things like Tacos from Taco Bell, but then I've had to pay taxes on other items like a free Whopper from Burger King. I really do think it comes down to how the company is structuring the discount.

Krispy Kreme has been giving out one free glazed donut for a long while whenever their outside neon light is on (meaning that they are making the donuts at the time - usually in the morning and after 4 or 5 pm). Just walk-in or through the drive-thru line and ask for one. Most of time, they just give you one without asking when you walk into the store. Can't beat a hot and sweet donut.
