ItsDeductible Is Gone: The Best ItsDeductible Replacement for 2026

Not tax advice. This article is general educational information. For advice about your situation, talk with a qualified tax professional. IRS rules can change, and your facts matter.

For years, ItsDeductible was the tool everyday donors trusted to track charitable gifts and put a fair market value (FMV) on the things they gave away. On October 21, 2025, Intuit shut it down for good. You may still see ItsDeductible mentioned inside TurboTax and around the web, but the product no longer works. If you’re looking for an ItsDeductible replacement, this page answers the questions former users ask most, in plain English. The short version: yes, there is an ItsDeductible replacement, and it is free to start.

Does ItsDeductible Still Exist?

No. ItsDeductible no longer exists as a working tool. Intuit turned the service off in October 2025, and the donation valuation and reporting features went with it. If you came here looking for the ItsDeductible login, that page is the place to start.

Intuit does let you download your historical data from your Intuit account, but this is not the export ItsDeductible used to make for tax purposes. It’s a general data download, and the ItsDeductible records inside it come as an account activity spreadsheet. Intuit’s instructions are on its personal data support page.

That download won’t recreate the old ItsDeductible reports or values, and no donation tracker can import it directly, ours included. What it does give you is a record of what you entered, which you can use to rebuild your history by hand in a tool like Deductible Duck. If you saved a ZIP or CSV export from ItsDeductible before the shutdown, that file is the good one. Our export and import guide walks through loading it.

What Happened to ItsDeductible?

Intuit retired the product with no modern version to follow. Users got a notice, then the service went dark. Intuit offered no ItsDeductible replacement of its own. ItsDeductible is no longer supported in TurboTax or anywhere else.

That left a lot of longtime users stranded in the middle of a tax year with no place to log their donations. Deductible Duck exists to fill that gap.

---

Does TurboTax Still Use ItsDeductible?

No. TurboTax may still mention ItsDeductible in its help text, but the integration no longer works and Intuit’s valuation database is offline.

That means TurboTax no longer has a built-in way to value noncash donations. You have to track and value them yourself, or with another tool.

TurboTax hasn’t announced a direct integration with any ItsDeductible replacement. What does work is the TXF file format. Deductible Duck exports a TXF file, and TurboTax Desktop for Windows and Mac imports it. Here are the TurboTax Desktop import steps. TurboTax Online does not accept TXF files from any donation tracker, so if you use the online version you’ll enter your totals by hand from our report. The rest is in our help documentation.

How Do Charitable Deductions Work Now (Including Itemizers vs Non-Itemizers)?

Itemizers (Traditional Deduction Trackers)

Most people who got value from ItsDeductible itemized their deductions on Schedule A of Form 1040. When you itemize, you list each deductible expense, such as mortgage interest, state taxes, and charitable gifts, and skip the standard deduction.

For your 2025 return, the one you file in early 2026, charitable gifts you itemize reduce your taxable income the way they always have. 2025 is the last year under the old rules.

New 2026 Rules Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)

Starting January 1, 2026, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act changes how charitable deductions work:

• Non-itemizers (people who take the standard deduction) can deduct up to $1,000 in cash gifts to qualified charities, or $2,000 if married filing jointly, even though they don’t itemize.
• Before this, only itemizers could deduct charitable gifts at all. This opens the deduction to many more taxpayers.
• Itemizers get a new floor. Only the part of your charitable giving that exceeds 0.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) counts on Schedule A.
• Filers in the top tax bracket also face a cap on how much each deducted dollar is worth.

In simpler terms:

• For 2025 returns (filed in 2026), donation deductions work the way they always have.
• Starting with the 2026 tax year, non-itemizers can deduct small cash gifts, and itemizers lose the first 0.5% of AGI off the top.

We break down the math, with worked examples, in our charitable deductions 2026 guide.

Is It Worth Claiming Goodwill or Donation Deductions?

If you itemize, yes. Charitable gifts reduce your taxable income dollar for dollar above the new floor, but only if you can back them up. That means a fair market value (FMV) you can defend for each item and a receipt from the charity. Not sure what a proper receipt looks like? Here’s how Goodwill receipts and tax ID numbers work.

If you don’t itemize, which is most taxpayers, you now get something too: up to $1,000 ($2,000 joint) for cash gifts starting with the 2026 tax year.

Either way, small donations are worth tracking now in a way they weren’t before.

What If My Donation Is Over $5,000?

Two thresholds matter for noncash gifts, and people mix them up:

• Over $500 in noncash gifts for the year: you file Form 8283 with your return. Our Form 8283 guide covers how to fill it out.
• Over $5,000 for a single item, or a group of similar items (all your clothing, say): you also need a qualified appraisal from a professional appraiser, done and signed before you file. Publicly traded stock is the main exception. The rules are in IRS Publication 526.

Without clear records and FMV estimates you can defend, an auditor can throw out a large deduction. Track what the IRS asks for as you go, and tax time gets a lot easier.

Donating a vehicle? The car donation tax deduction works differently, with its own form and its own rules.

Is There an ItsDeductible Replacement?

Yes. Deductible Duck was built to be the ItsDeductible replacement, by a small team that used ItsDeductible for years and didn’t want to go back to a spreadsheet. It’s free for your first $1,000 in donations, then $29.99 a year.

Here’s what it does:

• Track noncash and cash donations, mileage, and stock, all year long
• Give you FMV estimates for common household items that you can stand behind
• Produce reports you can hand to your CPA or use yourself at tax time
• Keep the records Form 8283 asks for
• Stay current with each tax year’s rules, including the 2026 changes

Most other options are spreadsheets or general expense apps that don’t know what a donation is. If you regularly give away household goods and want records that hold up, Deductible Duck is the one built for that job.

What to Look for in a Real ItsDeductible Replacement

A real replacement has four jobs, and it has to do them every year without drama. Flashy features don’t matter if one of these four fails.

1. It captures donations with the right amount of detail

You need enough detail to defend the deduction, and little enough friction that you keep using the tool. For a donated item, a practical minimum is:

• A specific description (“misc” and “bags of stuff” won’t survive a question)
• Quantity
• Condition (fair, good, very good, like new)
• Fair market value, as one conservative number or a tight range
• The date and the charity

If a tool makes you describe every sock, you’ll stop using it by March. If it lets you type “stuff, $300,” you’ll have a hard time explaining that line later. The sweet spot is an entry that still makes sense six months after you wrote it.

2. It gives you a way to defend each value

The IRS wants a reasonable fair market value, which is about what the item would sell for used (IRS Publication 561). What you paid for it new is the wrong number. If a product says it values donations automatically, especially with AI, ask a few questions before you trust it:

• Does it use what similar items actually sold for, or just asking prices?
• Does it show a range, or force one number on you?
• Can you adjust for condition and missing pieces?
• Can you explain or export how the value was chosen?

Even if you like automation, you still need a reason you could say out loud in one sentence, something like “based on the resale range for similar items, adjusted down for wear.” If you can’t explain a number that simply, don’t use it.

3. It keeps clean records across years

Giving happens every year, so the tool has to keep each tax year separate, hold onto prior years (including anything you imported from ItsDeductible), and let you look back when a question comes up. It should never wipe your history in January. When records are spread across tools and years, mistakes creep in. A good system makes it obvious what you gave this year, what you gave last year, and how the totals compare.

4. It exports cleanly at tax time

In April you want the tool to be boring. You should be able to get clear totals for cash and noncash gifts, a clean summary you can hand to TurboTax, H&R Block or your CPA, and an audit-ready packet of receipts, acknowledgments and notes. An export that loses data or needs fixing by hand is the one failure you can’t afford that month.

The litmus test

A strong ItsDeductible replacement lets you answer yes to all three:

• Could I explain my donation values calmly if someone asked?
• Could I hand this export to a tax preparer without apologizing?
• Could I pick it up again next year without relearning everything?

If you get three yeses, you’ve found your replacement. If you don’t, keep looking.

What Is the Best Replacement for ItsDeductible?

Deductible Duck. Here’s what sets it apart as an ItsDeductible replacement:

• Built for charitable donation tracking from the ground up, with none of the expense-app clutter
• Covers what donors actually need: noncash FMV, annual summaries, and the paper trail an audit asks for
• Produces outputs you can give your CPA alongside your return
• Values items the way the IRS defines fair market value in Publication 561, using real resale and thrift-store pricing from trustworthy sources, checked by a person. We don’t use AI to guess at values, because the IRS hasn’t approved that as a valuation method either.

If you donated goods in past years and relied on ItsDeductible, Deductible Duck is the closest modern equivalent and the one we’d point you to going forward.

Summary: What You Must Do in 2026 and Beyond

1. Request your old ItsDeductible data from Intuit if you need historical records, and dig up any ZIP or CSV export you saved before the shutdown.
2. Accept that ItsDeductible is permanently gone. Intuit has not announced anything to replace it.
3. Track donations as you make them. The 2026 rules reward it for itemizers and non-itemizers alike.
4. Use an ItsDeductible replacement like Deductible Duck to track and document noncash gifts. Start free.
5. Talk to your tax advisor about any large gifts or anything that might need an appraisal.

Good records and FMV estimates you can defend matter more now than they ever did.
