Discover + TurboTax: Bridge the Gap
Need to get your Discover Financial Services bank statement into TurboTax? Discover uses MM/DD/YYYY and credit card format with Transaction Date, Post Date, Description, and Amount columns, plus Cashback Bonus summary; checking uses chronological Date/Description/Amount/Balance — which needs converting to CSV (N/A — TurboTax is tax filing software. Use BankScan AI output as a working reference to complete income and deduction sections.) for TurboTax import.

BankScan AI converts bank statement PDFs to organized CSV files that help you identify deductible expenses and verify income during TurboTax preparation. Discover checking and credit card statements include cashback rewards and promotional balance details. BankScan AI extracts all financial transactions with reward tracking.
