I think the problem is that is it not obviously monetized. You want Intuit to provide a free service.
Exactly, and they already offer Mint, which is "free". The primary issue here is the fact that Mint does not offer one component (at least not yet) of ItsDeductible and that is driving the complaints; users cannot enter donations of physical goods, such as household items, clothing, etc., get valuations, and then import the lot into TurboTax.
Although I understand the inconvenience that may cause certain ItsDeductible users, I suspect it may not be an issue that adversely impacts a huge number of taxpayers due to (a) the large increase in the standard deduction that took effect several years ago, and (b) the value and frequency of such donations for most is probably fairly low.
