Quick answer

What is ItsDeducted for tax professionals? ItsDeducted is donor-side recordkeeping software for charitable donations. Clients capture and review their records throughout the year, then can share a single-donation or annual summary directly with a designated tax professional. The tax professional view provides category-level totals with access to underlying donation-event and record detail.

Client workflow

Clients build the record before tax season

ItsDeducted gives clients three practical ways to turn donation activity into records they can review and share.

1

Capture the donation

Clients can upload photos, import a list, or add items manually so donated goods are recorded while the details are still fresh.

Photo • list • manual entry
2

Review the record

ItsDeducted suggests estimated fair market values using item, category, and condition information where available. The client can review and edit the record before saving.

3

Share with a Tax Professional

The client can designate a tax professional and share either one donation summary or an annual summary. The tax professional receives an email notification when records are shared.

See the rollup first, then drill into the donation detail

ItsDeducted’s direct tax professional sharing workflow is designed for review rather than forcing you to decipher a client’s screenshots, handwritten lists, or end-of-year memory dump.

Common questions

What tax professionals should know about ItsDeducted

Is ItsDeducted tax-preparation software?
No. ItsDeducted is donation recordkeeping software. It helps clients capture donated items, review estimated fair market values, organize supporting information, and share records. It does not prepare tax returns or determine the tax treatment of a contribution.
Can Free users share donation records with a tax professional?
Yes. Both Free and Pro users can designate a tax professional and share a summary for a single donation or an annual summary. Pro adds formatted PDF reports, annual summary PDFs, unlimited tracking and list imports, Google Photos backup, and household features.
What does the tax professional receive?
The tax professional receives an email notification that records were shared and can review a category-level rollup plus the underlying donation-event and record detail the client tracked.
Can clients change the estimated fair market values?
Yes. ItsDeducted provides estimated values that the client can review and edit before saving or sharing. The app supports recordkeeping; the client and tax professional remain responsible for reviewing the facts relevant to the return.
Does an ItsDeducted record replace charity acknowledgments, Form 8283, or an appraisal?
No. IRS substantiation requirements depend on the donation and claimed deduction. ItsDeducted records can support the client’s documentation workflow, but separate acknowledgments, Form 8283, appraisals, or other documentation may still be required. See the IRS noncash donation rules guide for an overview.
How does ItsDeducted estimate donation values?
ItsDeducted uses a methodology aligned with IRS Publication 561 and combines item and category information with condition inputs where available. For the methodology, data sources, and review workflow, see how the hybrid valuation engine works.
