Here are several ways you can get to the interview screen to import from ItsDeductible into your Online TurboTax return.  See which one works for you. 

 

Method 1: 

  • Log in and open your return
  • When the return is open, in the top right of the screen click on SEARCH.
  • In the search box, enter the term itsdeductible ( one word, without quotes) and then click the blue magnifying glass icon (do not choose anything in the dropdown menu or it might not work).
  • Then click the “Jump to itsdeductible” link.
  • Answer Yes to Did you make any donations to charity in 2019? 
  • The next screen will ask if you have an ItsDeductible account.  Answer Yes.
  • Follow the instructions and import your donations.

Method 2:   
Same as first method above, but in the Search box enter donations (without quotes), and then click the magnifying glass icon (do not choose anything suggested in the dropdown menu or it might not work).  Then click "Jump to donations."

 

Method 3: 

  • Log in and open your return.
  • With the return open, click in the left menu column on Tax Tools, then choose TOOLS.
  • In the Tools window click the blue button Topic Search. 
  • In the Topic Search popup enter the word itsdeductible without quotes, highlight the selection, and click GO.
  • Next screen asks:   "Did you make any donations to charity in 2019?"
  • When you say "yes", the next screen is:  "Do you have an account with ItsDeductible Online?"
  • Say "yes" and continue the interview.

Method 4 :

  • Using regular navigation go to Federal Taxes tab in the left column, then at the top go to Deductions & Credits section. 
  • On a screen that says "Your Tax Breaks" scroll down and look for a link that says "All Tax Breaks".  Click that to expand, then you will see all deduction topics and subtopics. 
  • Scroll down to the topic "Charitable Donations" and click Show More to expand and see the subtopics..
  • Choose "Import from ItsDeductible Online."

Thanks for the reply.  Only Method 4 worked.

You're welcome.  All 4 work for me.  I just tested them again tonight when I was posting your answer.  I don't know why it's not consistent for some users.    I don't understand how Method 3 can fail.  It's actually the most reliable since it merely selects the itsdeductible shortcut out of a list of topics.   But that's why I provide 4 options, since it can be unpredictable.    In any case, I'm glad you got there.
