How to Recover Your ItsDeductible Data and Import It into DeductIt

March 5, 2026 · Foothill AI

If you used Intuit's ItsDeductible to track your charitable donations, you probably noticed it shut down on October 21, 2025. The app is gone, but your data isn't—at least not yet. Intuit still lets you download your donation history through their Data & Privacy portal, and DeductIt can import it directly.

Here's how to get your data back.

Don't wait too long. Intuit hasn't announced a deadline for data availability, but services that shut down don't keep data around forever. If you have years of donation history in ItsDeductible, we'd recommend requesting your download sooner rather than later.

Step 1: Request Your Data from Intuit

Your ItsDeductible data lives in Intuit's systems, and you can request a copy through their account portal. Here's how:

Intuit account portal with 'Data & privacy' highlighted in the left navigation menu
Sign in at accounts.intuit.com and select "Data & privacy" from the left menu
  1. 1 Go to accounts.intuit.com and sign in with the same account you used for ItsDeductible
  2. 2 Select "Data & privacy" from the left menu
  3. 3 Click "Download" and choose TurboTax (or Intuit Account) as the product
  4. 4 Submit your request

Now the hard part: waiting. Intuit says the download can take up to 15 days to prepare (in our experience, it's usually closer to 5). You'll get an email when it's ready.

Step 2: Download and Find Your File

When Intuit emails you, follow the link to download a ZIP archive. Unzip it and look for a file called:

ItsDeductibleOnline.xlsx

This is the file that contains your complete donation history—every item, cash donation, stock gift, and charity mileage trip you ever logged in ItsDeductible. It's a standard Excel spreadsheet, so you can open it to inspect your data if you're curious, but you don't need to—DeductIt handles the parsing for you.

Tip: The ZIP may contain other files too (account info, tax returns, etc.). You only need ItsDeductibleOnline.xlsx for the import.

Step 3: Import into DeductIt

Open DeductIt and head to the Import / Export / Print screen (tap your profile icon at the top right, then select "Import / Export / Print"). Select the Import tab at the top, and you'll see the "Import from Intuit's Data & Privacy Portal" option.

  1. 1 Tap "Import XLSX"
  2. 2 Select the ItsDeductibleOnline.xlsx file from your device
  3. 3 DeductIt scans the file and shows you which tax years it found—pick the years you want to import
  4. 4 Review the summary and confirm

That's it. Your donations are imported, organized by charity and year, ready to browse or transfer to TurboTax.

What Gets Imported

The import brings over everything ItsDeductible tracked:

Charity names and locations come through too, so your donations stay organized under the right organizations.

A Few Things to Know

Year selection

If you've been using ItsDeductible for a long time, your file might contain a decade or more of history. The year picker defaults to the last five years, but you can select whichever years you need. Importing only the years you're actively working with keeps things tidy.

No duplicates check

If you import the same file twice, you'll get duplicate entries. If that happens, you can delete the extras manually—but it's easier to just import once and be done with it.

Already have the old ZIP exports?

If you downloaded your data from ItsDeductible before it shut down (the app used to let you export ZIP files directly), DeductIt can import those too. There's a separate "Import from ItsDeductible ZIP" option on the same screen. The Intuit Data Portal method is for people who didn't grab their data before the shutdown.

After Import: Transfer to TurboTax

Once your donations are in DeductIt, you can transfer them straight to TurboTax for tax filing. We have a detailed guide on the TurboTax transfer process, including options for both TurboTax Online and Desktop.

Open DeductIt →

Import your ItsDeductible data and pick up right where you left off.
