To clarify some points here:
1.) We're dissatisfied that they are ending ItsDeductible mid-year for the 2022 year, not 2021. I think those concerned here have all filed 2021 already. The annoyance is that TT led us to believe ItsDeductible would be available for the full 2022 tax season, (by their act of opening 2022 for input).
2.) There are over 2,000 views on the thread. Does that mean 2,000 individuals have read it? Idk how TT counts views, but not everyone reading it will comment. It's unreasonable to expect every single TT user/ or reader of the thread will comment on this.
3.) Even if I only input the whole dollar amount for Salvation army. ie. $323 for clothes. I still need that backup of how I got to $323 in case I get audited. That was the beauty behind ItsDeductible, it told me $323. Saved me time on looking up all the costs. I save the detailed pdf for backup, along with my receipts and handwritten lists/ pics.
4.) TT is spending more effort on making sure I get every email from this community thread, and informing me of how many badges or kudos I've earned. If they spent that much effort on telling folks about ItsDeductible, we'd be talking a different story here. (yes I know those are alerts and can be turned off, just saying...).
I guess some of us are detail-oriented and loved this tool for that. An accountant once did our taxes and wanted to cap our itemized donations at 5k or something, (even though I had lists/ back up for more), because it was easier for him.
