Does TurboTax store "sensitive" or "personal information" locally if tax file is saved on removable media?

  • What version of TurboTax? It might be a stupid question, since you can’t to my knowledge use older versions, to submit your current years taxes but in retrospect it might matter in a year – Ramhound Mar 10 '23 at 14:37
  • Generally not. I use Turbo Tax, have my own tax folder structure and that is where the data is. Beware temporary registry entries for TT and Adobe, but these should just be filenames. – John Mar 10 '23 at 14:57
  • @John The filenames I could understand. I mostly worried about temp files. – paulj Mar 10 '23 at 16:00
  • I do not see temp files after the tax file has been saved and TT closed. – John Mar 10 '23 at 16:01

Your tax files are stored wherever you saved them.

If you wish to be sure, search for *.tax files on your local disk.

The default folder is usually Documents\TurboTax.
