Get your taxes done using TurboTax

does H&R store your data on cloud, where, as someone else posted, it stays forever to be harvested?


No idea but consider the following:

 

I set up two test returns, one in TurboTax and the other in H&R Block (both desktop versions). I added a Schedule C business, rental property, stock/bond sales, W-2 info, etc. (i.e., a LOT of data in two MFJ returns).

 

The TurboTax data file on my PC is well over 2.5 MB while the H&R Block file is under 75 KB. Does anyone reading this want to explain why that's the case? If the H&R Block tax data file isn't stored in the cloud somewhere, why is it so tiny in comparison to the TurboTax data file?
