How to switch from ItsDeducted to DeductiBee
Every other product on this list gives you the raw data and charges for the tax-software file. ItsDeducted does it the other way round: their comparison page puts TXF in free, and PDF and Excel in Pro. That single fact shapes the whole migration, because TXF is not a file another tracker can usefully read.
- ItsDeducted today
- Live at the time of writing. A browser product that states it is independent and not affiliated with Intuit, TurboTax, or TurboTax ItsDeductible. Their own pages describe a web app rather than an App Store download.
- Can you get a file out
- PartlyExcel (paid tier), PDF (paid tier), TXF
- TXF sits in the free tier. The Excel spreadsheet and the detailed PDF reports are described as requiring their Pro plan.
What trips people up moving off ItsDeducted
- The spreadsheet is the paid one. Their own comparison page states it: TXF in Free, PDF and Excel in Pro. That is backwards from every other product here, and it is the reason this page exists.
- Their free plan caps how much tracked donation value it will hold, so the free tier may never have held your whole year in the first place.
- They never publish the column list of the Excel export. Their documentation describes the PDF report's contents in careful detail and says nothing at all about the spreadsheet's fields.
- Their privacy policy describes portability as requesting a portable export of certain data, which is a support request with a scope limit attached rather than a guaranteed full download.
- Their import direction is far better documented than their export direction. Worth noticing before you assume the way out mirrors the way in.
Get your records out of ItsDeducted
TXF is a tax-software interchange format aimed at TurboTax rather than a general-purpose record, so a free user moving to another tracker is realistically choosing between a copy-and-paste job and paying once for the spreadsheet. Their free plan also caps how much tracked donation value it will hold, so check where you stand against that cap before assuming the free tier ever held your full year. Their privacy policy separately lists requesting a portable export of certain data as a user right, through their contact form or support address.
- 1Sign in to the web appOpen app.itsdeducted.com and sign in to the account holding your records. Their marketing site says the free plan needs no credit card, but the export comes from your saved data, so you need to be in the account.
- 2Choose the export scopeThey document two scopes: a donation-level export for one specific drop-off, and an annual export for a whole tax year. Pick the annual one if you are migrating rather than printing a single receipt.
- 3Pick the format your destination can readThey describe Excel as the choice for sortable rows, filtering, and an accountant-friendly handoff, and TXF as the tax-software-friendly one. For moving into another tracker, Excel is the useful file and TXF is not.
- 4Upgrade if you need the spreadsheet, or use the free fallbackTheir comparison page states the split as TXF in Free, PDF and Excel in Pro. If you would rather not pay to leave, their own export page says free users can copy and paste their data or print the screen. In practice that means selecting the donation list, pasting it into a spreadsheet, and tidying the columns by hand, which DeductiBee then reads like any other spreadsheet.
- 5Save your photos separatelyPhoto storage is a paid feature described as backing item photos up to Google Photos. No page of theirs says whether an export packages the image files, so check that backup or save the photos yourself before you cancel rather than finding out afterwards.
- 6Fall back to a written request if the export is not enoughTheir privacy policy lists requesting a portable export of certain data as a right, through their contact form or support address. Note the wording is certain data, so what arrives may be narrower than your full history.
Bring the file into DeductiBee
DeductiBee works out what the file is rather than asking you, so these three steps are the same whatever you exported from.
- 7Open Import in DeductiBee and pick your fileImport lives in onboarding and in Settings afterwards, so it is there whether you are new or have been using the app for a year. Choose the file from Files, iCloud Drive, or whatever app it landed in.
- 8Check the preview before anything is savedDeductiBee reads the file, works out which columns are which, and shows you what it found: how many donations, which tax years, and how each condition tier maps onto Like new, Good, and Fair. Nothing is written to your records until you accept that preview.
- 9Confirm the organizations it rebuiltMost exports list a charity name on every row rather than a separate list of organizations, so DeductiBee reconstructs the list from those rows and shows it to you to confirm or merge. Re-importing the same file later does not duplicate anything.
Importing your own history is free on every tier, permanently, and so is exporting your raw data again later. Neither is behind the paywall, on principle: your records are yours.
What comes with you, and what does not
No migration is lossless. Knowing which half is which before you start is the difference between a move and a surprise.
Comes with you
- Donation date and a generated reference ID
- Organization name
- Item description and category, with category rollups
- Condition and quantity per item
- Unit value and line totals
- Total estimated fair market value per donation
- Cash donations and charitable mileage, which the product tracks
Does not come with you
- Any flag distinguishing an automatically suggested value from one you edited yourself
- Any structured spreadsheet at all on the free plan, beyond what you can select on screen and paste

Where these steps came from
The steps above were read off ItsDeducted's own public pages on August 9, 2026, and those pages are linked below so you can check the work. Menus and wording in other companies' products change without notice. If something here no longer matches what you see, we would rather hear about it than leave it wrong.

- Their pricing page
- Their donation app comparison page

What we could not confirm
- Everything in the list above comes from their description of the PDF report, because that is the only output whose contents they document. Whether the Excel file carries the same fields is not stated anywhere we could find.
- The exact click path inside their app. No page of theirs names the export button, menu or screen, and we could not drive the signed-in product, so unlike most guides here we cannot give you an observed path.
- The spreadsheet's actual file extension and its column headers. Their pages only ever say Excel export.
- Whether charity address or EIN appear in any export. Only the organization name appears in their documented report contents, which is not the same as confirming the others are absent.
- Whether item photos are included in any export. Photo storage is a paid feature with a Google Photos backup, and no page says either way.
- Whether export is limited to one tax year at a time, and whether a lapsed subscriber keeps access to exports already created.
- Whether an iPhone app exists. Their own pages describe a web app, and some search results claim iOS availability, so we can say what they document rather than what exists.
