The IRS audited my Gifts to Charity several years ago because they came out to an oddly very round number. I hesitated before turning in my taxes that year since it was a round number, thinking maybe I should drop some item that I had donated so the total wouldn't be a round number with cash donations, mileage, and items donated, but in the end I didn't want to pay more taxes than I should and I thought, "it is what it is". So it must've been a red flag to the IRS, and they audited my Gifts to Charity. But I sent the IRS my charity receipts, hand-written tallies of items donated, and ItsDeductible valuations, and the IRS accepted them and gave me a No Change Letter and I was good. So Turbo Tax discontinuing ItsDeductuble is a huge loss, because now I've not only lost the ability to document my donations all year long to ease up preparing my taxes during crunch time, but also have lost the peace of mind it gave me as a guard against winning an audit. I really hope Turbo Tax reconsiders this foolish, poorly timed business decision, and all of the lost customers and therefore lost income they will lose with this cost cutting measure.
