Import a donation list or spreadsheet. Skip the manual entry.
Paste a donation list or upload a CSV, XLS, or XLSX spreadsheet. ItsDeducted uses AI-assisted matching to turn existing rows into organized donation items you can review, value, save, and export.
Free to start • No credit card required
Use the record you already have
Import is built for real-world donation data: a copied list from Notes, rows from a spreadsheet, or saved records from another system.
Copy & paste a list
Paste rows directly into the import dialog when you already have a simple list and want the fastest path into ItsDeducted.
Best for: copied lists, Notes, quick spreadsheet extracts, and smaller catch-up projects.
Upload a spreadsheet
Bring in a structured file when your donation history already lives in a spreadsheet or export. ItsDeducted supports common spreadsheet formats.
Best for: saved exports, larger lists, historical records, and files that already include structured columns.
Your list, your way
Copy and paste for the fastest start, or choose the spreadsheet that fits your donation records.
Copy & paste
No template needed. Paste your item names, condition (New, Good, Fair, or Poor), and quantity donated per item. ItsDeducted handles the list in one go.
Standard import template
Add each item’s name, condition (New, Good, Fair, or Poor), and quantity. Upload the file and add your items to ItsDeducted in just a few clicks.
Migration import template
Bring saved records from another tool, including TurboTax ItsDeductible. Include each item’s name, condition, quantity, and the old tool’s dollar value in the Value column to preserve your existing valuations.
Commonly donated items template
No saved list? Browse 1,300+ most commonly donated items grouped by category to jog your memory. Change Qty from 0 to the quantity you donated, then import the file.
From existing list to organized donation record in three steps
No rebuilding every line by hand. Import what you have, review what ItsDeducted produces, and keep the finished record ready for later.
Paste rows or upload the file
Start with the donation information you already captured. Copy and paste is the quickest path for a simple list; file upload is better when the data already has spreadsheet structure.
You do not need to rebuild an old donation one item at a time just to move it into a modern system.
Paste a simple donation list directly into the default import workflow, or switch to File Upload for CSV, XLS, or XLSX.
AI-assisted matching turns rows into reviewable items
ItsDeducted organizes imported rows and uses AI-assisted item matching plus its Hybrid Valuation Engine™ to suggest estimated fair market values when needed.
You stay in control: review item names, condition, quantity, and values before you save the donation.
How the Hybrid Valuation Engine works →
Review organized items and estimated fair market values before saving the donation record.
Keep the cleaned record ready for tax time
Save item details, charity information, donation date, notes, and values together. When you need the record later, ItsDeducted can generate tax-time exports instead of sending you back to the original spreadsheet.
See how donation export works →
Keep imported donation records organized and ready for PDF, Excel, or TXF export when you need them.
Import shines when the donation already exists somewhere else
If the hard part is cleaning up information you already have—not photographing a new pile—import is usually the fastest starting point.
Existing spreadsheets
Bring forward CSV, XLS, or XLSX records instead of retyping them into another tracker.
ItsDeductible migration
Use saved lists or exports from the old TurboTax ItsDeductible workflow as a starting point.
Large item lists
Move dozens of lines into a review workflow without manually searching every item first.
Past-year cleanup
Consolidate older or scattered records into one organized donation history.
If the donation is in front of you right now as a bag, box, or pile, photo upload is often the better starting point.
Bringing forward saved TurboTax ItsDeductible records?
Use the dedicated migration guide for saved spreadsheets, copied lists, Value-column support, and the details that matter when moving older ItsDeductible records into ItsDeducted.
Imports can stay complete instead of breaking into unmatched rows
Hybrid matching helps turn a pasted or uploaded list into a stronger starting point for review, with less row-by-row cleanup afterward.
The import is the starting point—not a locked record
Imported items stay editable, so the final donation record reflects what you actually donated and the documentation you want to keep.
Review and edit
Adjust item names, condition, quantity, and estimated values before you save.
Add donation context
Keep charity, donation date, notes, and item details together instead of split across files.
Export when needed
Keep the finished record ready for later PDF, Excel, or TXF export and tax-time review.
Choose the next piece of the workflow
Import is one of three ways into ItsDeducted. These pages explain what happens before, during, and after the import.

The questions people usually have before bringing an existing spreadsheet or copied list into ItsDeducted.
What are the two import options in ItsDeducted?
You can paste a simple donation list directly into the import dialog or upload a spreadsheet file. Copy and paste is the fastest path for simple lists; file upload is better for structured CSV, XLS, or XLSX records.
What file types can I upload?
ItsDeducted supports CSV, XLS, and XLSX files for spreadsheet-based donation import.
What information should my list include?
For a pasted list, item name, condition, and quantity are enough to create a useful starting point. Spreadsheet uploads can include more structure, and a Value column can be used when you want to preserve values already saved in a file.
Do I need a perfectly formatted spreadsheet first?
No. Import is meant to give you a faster starting point. Review the imported items, fix anything that needs attention, and save the cleaned donation record from there.
Can I edit item names, condition, quantity, or values after import?
Yes. Import is not a locked workflow. You can review and edit item details before saving the final donation record.
Is donation list import a Pro feature?
Free users get one standard import with up to 50 items. Pro includes unlimited list imports and removes the standard item cap. See pricing for current plan details.
Can I import saved TurboTax ItsDeductible data?
Yes. If you saved exports, spreadsheets, or copied lists before ItsDeductible shut down, you can use them as a starting point in ItsDeducted. The ItsDeductible import guide covers the migration-specific details.
Does every imported item need an exact catalog match?
No. ItsDeducted uses AI-assisted identification and its Hybrid Valuation Engine™ so an imported row does not have to match a rigid catalog entry exactly just to become a useful, reviewable item.
When is import better than photo upload?
Import is usually better when your donation list already exists in a spreadsheet, copied list, saved file, or older record. Photo upload is stronger when the donation still needs to be captured from scratch.
Start with the donation records you already have
Paste a list or upload a spreadsheet, review the imported items, and keep the finished donation record organized in ItsDeducted.
