How to switch from ItsDeductible to DeductiBee
This is the migration most people are here for, and it splits in two depending on one thing: whether you exported before October 21, 2025. If you did, you already have the better files. If you did not, your history is not gone. Intuit will still send it to you through an account data request, and that is true whether or not you ever install DeductiBee.
- ItsDeductible today
- Discontinued. Intuit's own notice gave October 21, 2025 as the date the service stopped being available, and the product's sign-in path went with it. The data itself is still reachable through your Intuit account, which is the whole point of this page.
- Can you get a file out
- PartlyXLSX, CSV (if exported before the shutdown)
- The in-product export is gone. An account-wide Intuit data request still returns your donation history, and it is free.
What trips people up moving off ItsDeductible
- The old CSV export never included your charity list, only your donations. A user on Intuit's own forum put it plainly: the export CSVs only have options to export the donations, but not export the charities as well.
- Charity addresses only ride along on donation rows, so a charity you did not give to in a given year generally does not appear in that year's file at all. Same forum thread, same complaint.
- The post-shutdown spreadsheet is not the same shape as the old CSVs. Column headers differ, which is why every tracker that reads both has to detect the format rather than assume it.
- Competing trackers disagree about what the post-shutdown spreadsheet actually contains. Charity Record says it drops stock cost basis, share count and acquisition method; DeductIt describes the same file as holding every item, cash gift, stock donation and mileage trip you ever logged. Neither publishes a schema, and Intuit documents none, so treat both as marketing until you open your own file.
- Requesting a download and requesting a deletion are neighbors on the same Intuit screen. Read before clicking.
Get your records out of ItsDeductible
Getting a file is free: ItsDeductible was free, and the Intuit personal data download is a privacy request rather than a product feature. Three things to know before you start. The request is account-wide and asynchronous, stated at up to 15 days. You need access to the Intuit ID you actually used for ItsDeductible. And the file you get back is generally lossier than the export the product used to offer, so if you saved the old CSVs, treat those as your primary copy and the spreadsheet as the fallback.
- 1Search for a pre-shutdown export firstIf you exported before October 21, 2025, start by finding those files rather than requesting new ones. Charity Record, a competing tracker whose importer accepts them, documents the set as separate Items, Cash, Mileage, Stock and Overall CSVs. Search your downloads folder and your email.
- 2Sign in to your Intuit accountGo to accounts.intuit.com and sign in with the same Intuit ID you used for ItsDeductible or TurboTax. The old itsdeductibleonline.intuit.com login is gone, so this is the entry point at the time of writing. If that account was deleted, the data went with it.
- 3Open Data privacy and choose DownloadIntuit's support article says to select Data privacy, then select Download, then follow the screens to submit your data request. That is Intuit's wording; the label in the account interface may read slightly differently. Read the screen carefully either way, because the request to download your data and the request to delete it live in the same place.
- 4Pick the product when askedOn the request screen, select TurboTax if you use it. Otherwise Intuit Account is selected for you. ItsDeductible is not offered as its own choice, so do not go looking for it and assume something has gone wrong.
- 5Wait for the emailIntuit states that requests can take up to 15 days depending on how much data is involved, and emails you when the file is ready. Plan around that published figure rather than around anecdotes about faster turnarounds, which is another way of saying do this before filing season rather than during it.
- 6Find the spreadsheet inside the ZIPIntuit states that your ItsDeductible data will be inside the SharedData subfolder of the file you get back. Competing trackers that ingest the same file give the full path as SharedData, then ItsDeductible, then ItsDeductibleOnline.xlsx. The ZIP also holds unrelated account files you can ignore.
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
- Every tax year you logged, not just the most recent one
- Donation dates
- Charity name, and charity address for charities you actually gave to that year
- Item description, condition or quality tier, and quantity
- Fair market value per unit and total donation value
- Cash donation amounts and dates
- Mileage: miles driven, the IRS rate per mile, and other transportation costs
- Stock donations, though how much detail survives is exactly what the two competing trackers disagree about
Does not come with you
- Your saved charity list as a list. Charities with no donation in a year generally do not appear in that year's file
- The PDF donation summaries, which had to be generated before the shutdown
- Intuit's valuation guide, which was their content rather than your data. DeductiBee will not import it even if you kept a copy, on purpose
Questions about leaving ItsDeductible
I missed the October 21, 2025 deadline. Is my donation history gone?
How long does the Intuit data request take?
Which file is better, the old CSVs or the new spreadsheet?
Will my charities come across?
Can I put the file back into TurboTax instead?
Where these steps came from
The steps above were read off ItsDeductible'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.
- Intuit on accessing personal data in an Intuit account
- Intuit on requesting a data download or deletion
- The forum thread documenting the missing charity list
- The forum thread on charity addresses
- Charity Record's guide to the post-shutdown Intuit export
- Charity Record's list of the legacy CSV columns
What we could not confirm
- The exact sheet names and column headers inside ItsDeductibleOnline.xlsx. No page we could fetch documents them, which is why every importer that reads it sniffs the shape rather than assuming one, DeductiBee included.
- What the old CSV column headers were, from Intuit. The header row quoted around the internet comes from Charity Record's import guide, which is evidence of what their importer accepts rather than of what Intuit emitted.
- How long Intuit keeps this data after the shutdown. No page we fetched states a retention deadline, so there may be a date past which a request returns nothing. That argues for doing it now rather than in April.
- How long the download link in Intuit's ready email stays valid.
- What happens if the Intuit account itself was closed. No page we fetched addresses it, so we cannot tell you whether the data survives that, and we are not going to guess.
- Whether ItsDeductible ever supported photos of donated items. We found no documentation either way, so we cannot tell you whether photo evidence exists to be lost.

Nothing to lose in the move
Import is free, re-importing the same file does not duplicate anything, and you can export your raw data again whenever you want.
