How to Recover and Import Your TurboTax ItsDeductible Data

Start with the ItsDeductible record you actually have

Intuit discontinued ItsDeductible on October 21, 2025. For this migration, the important question is not what the old service used to do; it is what data you still have access to now.

For the shutdown timeline and broader post-ItsDeductible context, see what happened to ItsDeductible. This article stays focused on recovering and migrating the records.

Prepare the usable rows before you import

You do not need to recreate the old ItsDeductible database format. The goal is to get the useful donation information into a simple structure that ItsDeducted can turn into reviewable records.

The full How Donation List Import Works page is the canonical guide to the product workflow. This migration article only covers the extra decisions that matter when the source is old ItsDeductible data.

How to recover and import your ItsDeductible records

1. 1

   Recover or gather the source records

   Use an export or spreadsheet you already saved. If you do not have one, submit Intuit’s personal-data download request and locate the ItsDeductible data in SharedData when it arrives.

2. 2

   Choose paste or file upload

   Paste a straightforward item list when you only need a few columns. Upload CSV, XLS, or XLSX when the source already has a useful spreadsheet structure.

3. 3

   Keep a Value column when saved values matter

   If the old spreadsheet includes values you want to retain, keep or add a Value column before upload. That lets the imported record preserve those values rather than replacing them automatically.

4. 4

   Import, then review the matches

   ItsDeducted uses AI-assisted matching to turn imported rows into organized donation items. Review item names, condition, quantity, and values before you save the finished donation record.

5. 5

   Keep the original file

   Treat the imported donation as a working record, not a reason to discard your source. Keep the old export, spreadsheet, Intuit download, and any receipts or supporting files with your records.

Know the current import limits before you start

ItsDeducted’s Free plan is enough to test a smaller migration. Larger or repeated imports are a Pro use case. The pricing page remains the source of truth for current plan details.

If you are migrating a large historical file, splitting it into artificial chunks just to fit the Free limit usually creates more cleanup than it saves. Use the Free import to validate the workflow; use Pro when the migration itself is larger.

Review the imported records before tax time

Import is a faster starting point, not an instruction to accept every field blindly. Check the item description, condition, quantity, charity and donation details, and any estimated or preserved values before you rely on the record later.

If the file is messy, treat this as a migration—not a re-entry project

Old donation records are rarely perfect. Column names may be inconsistent, a personal-data download may not resemble the spreadsheet you remember, or several years may be mixed together. Clean the smallest amount necessary to create usable rows, then let the import workflow do the repetitive part.

If you are unsure which file to use or need help turning an old record into a workable import, contact the ItsDeducted team before spending hours retyping it manually.
