History. Prepared 2020 income tax. Downloaded, H&R, software. (purchased from walmart). No issues.
Copied my 2020 tax return to a flash drive, Had to re-boot my computer to "original" condition. (And my 2020 tax return would be deleted).
Purchased, 2021 H&R software, Amazon.
Inserted flash drive, to transfer 2020 income tax, to my computer.
(Reason, after I install 2021 H&R, software, can easily transfer 2020 data to the 2021 return. Saves lot of time entering data.
Weird part: Not able to transfer 2020 return from flash drive to computer.
Strange error message.
Had an idea. Reloaded the 2020 H&R software. Thinking,
maybe, a piece of original software, would allow me to transfer
2020 tax return from flash drive,
Surprise: When I downloaded the 2020 H&R software. MY COMPLETED
FILLED OUT 2020 TAX RETURNS WERE THERE. (AS WELL AS
MY MOM'S AND DAUGHTER).
Nice, cause now I can transfer 2020 return to 2021.
BUT: I had no idea, H&R, kept my tax information, on their servers.
I thought, I just purchased the software, AND all of my personal
income tax information, WAS ON MY HARD DRIVE.
NOT STORED AT H&R BLOCK?
Am i missing something?
