Importing ItsDeductible Data Into TT 2024

Importing didn't work in TT Deluxe 2023.  Suspect it's cuz Intuit expected to jettison ItsDeductible that year so their IT wizards didn't bother themselves with integrating the function though, as a PR play, they reversed themselves on ending ID, hence punishing diehard ID users for their rebellion.  Super longtime TT user here who's had it up to here with ever increasing prices coupled with vexing never fixed bugs such as this one and that goofy resolution bug.  I might give Intuit just one more chance to redeem themselves if they can assure me the ID import will work with TT Deluxe 2023 (for Windows).  Wonder if Intuit's IT gurus were recruited from the crowd that brought us the Obamacare website.

    TurboTax is working to improve the process, but in the meantime, please only use alphabet letters and spaces in your ItsDeductible descriptions. Removing any special characters, including quotes, apostrophes, etc. will allow for a successful import.

    I have an ItsDecuctible account and using the 2023 TurboTax Premier desktop edition for Windows.  Just downloaded my donations from the website.

    Thanks for the ray of hope.  Didn't work like that -- like it was supposed to -- last year.  Hoping it works like that this year -- but I'll be down there in the Deluxe cheap seats.

    what is with turbo tax 2024!? I have always tracked my donations to charity, both money and items and it’s deductible throughout the year. There is no option to import and it wants me to enter every single item for each donation I made like I did throughout the year within TurboTax itself. This makes no sense whatsoever. What a waste of time and money

    Got my years all mixed up.  Duh.  Sorry.  Worried about Intuit's 2023 tax year software vs their sad 2022 tax year software.

    It's not just the desktop TurboTax version that's broken. I've been using the online version for almost a decade and the ItsDeductible import has always worked ... until now. I contacted support and after 2 hours, was told that my options were to try to use TurboTax desktop or try the online version again tomorrow.  Said they couldn't create an engineering ticket because not enough people have complained yet. If they aren't capturing bug tickets, how would they know there weren't a million people complaining about it???

    Here is how another user was successful:

     

    Left side menu > select Tax Tools > choose "Tools" > pop up screen "Tools Center", select "Topic List" > Your Deductions & Credits > "Tax Breaks" scroll down screen to "Import ItsDeductible Online". I hope this helps

    I was able to find it and got it to work in the Online version:

    "Tax Tools" in sidebar --> "Tools"-->"Topic Search"-->type "itsdeductible"-->brings you to the charity page, click "yes".
