If you are using online Turbotax (Deluxe or higher), here are 3 ways you can get to the interview screen to import from ItsDeductible. See which one works for you.

Log in and open your return ("take me to my return.")
With the return open, click at the top on MY ACCOUNT, then choose TOOLS.
In the Tools window choose Topic Search.
Enter the word itsdeductible (without quotes), highlight the selection, and click GO.
Next screen asks: "Did you make any donations to charity in 2016?"
When you say "yes", the next screen is: "Do you have an account with ItsDeductible Online?"
Say "yes" and continue the interview.

Here's an alternate way to get there, just in case:

Log in and open your return ("take me to my return.")
When the return is open and past the blue "Simple and accurate" screen, click in the top right corner on SEARCH.
In the search box, search for donations (without quotes) and then click the “Jump to donations” link in the search results.
Answer Yes to Did you make any donations to charity?
The next screen will ask if you have an ItsDeductible account. Answer Yes.
Follow the instructions and import your donations.

Third method:
Same as second method above, but in the Search box enter itsdeductible (without quotes), then click "Jump to ItsDeductible."

dickzee:
What do you mean by "how to input?"   Input into what?  Please explain exactly what you have done and what you want to do.    Are you asking how to log into the ItsDeductible website and make entries?

Or are you using TurboTax and asking how to enter items at the time of return preparation using the built-in ItsDeductible applet inside the TurboTax program?   Are you asking how to navigate to that built-in applet inside TurboTax?

If you are trying to get to the built-in ItsDeductible applet inside TurboTax, follow the first steps using the instructions in the answer above, but at the screen that asks "Do you have an account with ItsDeductible Online"  say NO.
If you have entered some charities in that section before, you may encounter a Summary screen.
If so, there is a link "Add Another Charity."
The next screen should say "Let's enter your donations".  Enter the Charity Name and click on the ADD button next to ITEMS.
On a screen that asks "How do you want to value your donations"   choose GUIDE ME.
On next screen enter the Donation Date.
On next screen click button "Add or Edit Items".
That will launch the ItsDeductible applet that is inside TurboTax.
