Where Does H&R Block Store Returns and Documents?
Where H&R Block keeps returns and documents on Android and iPhone plus the web, and what syncs. See the folder table below.
Last updated
H&R Block is tax cloud with phone entry. Returns, forms, and e-file states live in your account. The phone caches interview answers and document photos.
Same login means same returns. Federal versus state modules share one account. Exact cache names shift with tax year builds. For moves, sign in and let the return download fully before editing. Prior year access needs the same account that filed, not just any install. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.
