I’m honestly very disappointed with Intuit’s decision to discontinue ItsDeductible without a clearly defined, comparable replacement.
For many long-time TurboTax users, ItsDeductible wasn’t a “nice to have.” It was a core part of how charitable deductions were tracked and valued consistently year over year. That consistency matters—not just for convenience, but for accuracy and defensibility.
In the meantime, I’ve had to create my own workaround. I’m now using ChatGPT to load and itemize all charitable donations, apply reasonable FMV estimates based on comparable resale data, and generate TurboTax-ready summaries and PDFs that I then manually enter into TurboTax. It gets me there, but it’s far from ideal—and not something customers paying for TurboTax should need to do.
What’s most frustrating is the lack of clarity. Support articles and forum responses keep saying that “something will replace ItsDeductible,” but there’s no concrete detail on what that actually means. No clear scope, no clear timing—just uncertainty. That makes it hard to plan and undermines confidence in the product.
Like many others here, I’ve purchased TurboTax for years specifically because of ItsDeductible. Removing it without an equivalent replacement meaningfully reduces the value of TurboTax and pushes unnecessary manual effort onto users who are simply trying to file accurately and consistently.
Clear communication and direction would go a long way here.I’m
