How to Use the Idea Exchange: Getting Started Guide
🔔Idea submission is temporarily unavailable. We're taking a step back to improve this experience from the ground up. You can still browse, vote, and comment on existing ideas while we work on a better submission experience for you.
Have an Idea? We Want to Hear It!
Your feedback helps shape the future of our products and community. Whether you have a suggestion for a new feature, an enhancement to an existing experience, or an idea to improve the community, the Idea Exchange is the place to share it.
How Does the Idea Exchange Work?
Getting started is easy:
-
Think of an idea that could improve your software or community experience.
-
Submit your idea to the Idea Exchange board that best matches your product or topic.
-
Community members vote and comment on ideas they support or want to discuss.
-
Our Community Management and Product teams review ideas and update their status as they move through the evaluation process.
Best Practices for Submitting Ideas
To help your idea get the attention it deserves:
- Keep it focused
Submit one idea per post so others can easily understand, discuss, and vote on your suggestion. - Be descriptive
Tell the full story. Explain what problem you’re trying to solve, why the idea matters, and how it would improve the product or community. - Choose the right board
Post your idea in the appropriate Idea Exchange board. For example, tax software suggestions should be submitted to that product’s board rather than the Community board. - Join the conversation
Be open to questions and feedback from other members. Thoughtful discussion can help strengthen your idea and clarify its value.
How Does My Idea Reach Intuit?
Ideas become especially visible once they reach 50 votes.
-
Ideas with 50 or more votes are shared with our Product teams for review.
-
Ideas with fewer than 50 votes may still be reviewed at Intuit's discretion.
Want to help your idea gain traction? Share it with others and encourage fellow community members to vote.
