For former ItsDeductible users
An ItsDeductible alternative that takes your old data with you
Intuit shut ItsDeductible down on October 21, 2025, after more than twenty years. Our family used it that whole time. DeductBook is the replacement we built when we couldn't find one that covered everything ItsDeductible did and fixed the things it never got right: receipts stored with the gift, the $250 acknowledgment rule checked for you, and one ledger a household shares.
Getting your history out of Intuit
The ItsDeductible site can't export anymore, but your data is still available through your Intuit account's privacy tools:
- Sign in at accounts.intuit.com with the login you used for ItsDeductible.
- Open Data & privacy in the left sidebar.
- Under Data privacy, choose Download and submit the request.
- Wait for Intuit's email. It usually takes several days, sometimes up to two weeks.
- Follow the Download my data link in that email. Inside the ZIP, under SharedData → ItsDeductible, is ItsDeductibleOnline.xlsx with every item, cash gift, mileage trip and stock gift you ever logged.
Importing it into DeductBook
Open DeductBook, choose Backup & data, then Import spreadsheet and pick the file. DeductBook reads each sheet, recognises the date, charity, item, value and other columns, and shows you what it found before anything is added. Goods given to the same charity on the same day become one donation with several items, the way ItsDeductible grouped them. Importing the same file twice adds nothing twice. Step-by-step details are in Help.
What's the same, and what's better
| ItsDeductible | DeductBook |
|---|---|
| Values for donated goods from its own list | A value guide of about 150 items, each range tied to the Salvation Army or Goodwill published guide, with the source shown on every row and carried into your exports |
| Cash, items, mileage and stock | The same, plus volunteer expenses with the rules for what counts: supplies, uniforms, overnight travel and meals |
| Receipts kept elsewhere | Receipts, letters and photos attached to the gift, in private storage with a household account |
| No record-keeping checks | Every entry checked against IRS Publication 526 as you type: the $250 acknowledgment rule, value received in return, fair-condition items, Form 8283 and appraisal thresholds |
| One login | A household ledger a spouse can add to from any device, with read-only access for an accountant |
| Tied to TurboTax | A tax summary, CSV exports and an itemized goods list that work with any software or preparer |
| Free with ads for TurboTax | Free to use in your browser. Household accounts are free during the beta, with a planned price of $19 a year per household |
What doesn't carry over
Intuit's export has no receipts or acknowledgment letters, and it may omit how a cash gift was paid or a stock's cost basis and holding period. Imported donations therefore start marked as needing records. Open each one, tick the records you have, and the deduction check shows what is still open for each year.
Not tax advice
DeductBook organizes records and explains the rules in plain English. The estimate it shows is before the limits that depend on your return. Confirm deductions with a qualified preparer or your tax software.
