Summary: Itsdeductible 2004, 2005
Date: 2006-04-13 - 
Comment: I used Itsdeductible 2004 and 2005 to track my charity donations through out both years. I bought 2003 at tax time and found it was a waste if not used to track during the year. I used TurboTax Deluxe for both tax years. It was very easy to import data from Itsdeductible to TurboTax. Down side was not all items donated are in the Itsdeductible data base and need to be done manual. This product is most helpful for noncash donations that require detail information to deduct more than $500. I was under estimating the value of donations prior to using this product.

Summary: Great hype then fizzles out
Date: 2006-03-09 - 
Comment: I used the 2005 version all year and was thrilled at how easy it was and the huge tax savings (since I take many bags of donations throughout the year). It was quite a let down to discover at tax filing time that it did NOT transfer to Turbo Tax as indicated. Intuit also has absolutely the worst customer service (oxymoron) imaginable. They only send canned responses and never actually address your concerns.
The 2006 version does not exist, even though it is advertised as being available on line. After numerous attempts to purchase it and contacting them to do so, I gave up and ordered H & R Block's version.

Summary: Easiest Way to Track and Estimate Donations
Date: 2005-12-14 - 
Comment: I have been using Turbo Tax software for a few years. This year I was able to purchase TurboTax 2005 Federal+ State+ ItsDeductible for $40! What a steal! I guess December is the month to buy.
This software comes preloaded with estimated values for a ton of items, and even bases the value on the item's condition. So for example a dress shirt is worth $18 if in good condition, but $9 if in fair condition. I feel a lot better after using this software because in earlier years I may have valued the same shirt for $30 :-} IT also tracks financial donations and mileage, but you can just use TurboTax for that...

Summary: Poor interface design
Date: 2005-07-25 -
Comment: This will save you money because it has a table of values based on item values in a thrift store. Unless you already know what those prices would be, it will be worth the $ for this software IF you have enough stuff that you are donating.
Three years ago I used this and judging from the comments here, the user interface has not improved one bit. I have been using computers since 1992, so I'm no noobie; but the bottom line is, if you can fugure out the inane logic of this program, it will be useful to you.
As for ease-of-use of this software ever getting any better, forget it--why would a beaurocracy care about that as long as people are buying it? I tried to get help with questions and problems when I used this 3 years ago, and the help you get (if you get any) is useless. Another corporation who doesn't care about their customers.

Summary: Saves money, poor execution
Date: 2005-05-15 -
Comment: I have used this product for 2 years and will probably purchase it again next year. I like having a resource for the estimates and have saved tons of money. I used to give 'garage sale' prices to my donations. The amounts provided by Its Deductible have been incredibly generous in comparison. I haven't had technical problems installing or otherwise, but its user interface is terrible. They definitely should make some serious modifications to its usability. I agree with a previous reviewer who wanted them to have it available from the beginning of the year -- I usually make donations earlier than they have the software available. I also don't care about exporting to TurboTax since I use another tax software. However, entering contributions to my tax software is no big deal. Just the totals go onto Schedule A; you don't have to put in each item. I just print the Its Deductible reports and keep them with my tax records; if I'm ever audited it's all there.
