Where Does TurboTax Store Returns and PDFs?
Where TurboTax keeps returns and PDFs on Android and iPhone plus the web, and what syncs. Full paths are listed below.
Last updated
TurboTax is tax cloud with phone entry. Returns, forms, and e-file states live in your Intuit account. The phone caches interview answers and document photos.
Same Intuit 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 TurboTax install. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later.
Where TurboTax stores this, by platform
/sdcard/Android/data/com.intuit.turbotax.mobile
Returns follow your Intuit login. Phone holds interview cache plus W-2 photos. Prior PDFs generate in cloud documents. Match the login exactly.
On My iPhone/TurboTax
Returns live in the TurboTax container plus Intuit cloud. Sign in to restore filings. Phone reinstall never touches cloud returns or e-file states.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move TurboTax returns to a new phone?
Sign in on the new phone with the same Intuit login and returns return from the cloud. Phone holds login and form cache only. Prior year PDFs generate server side. Download returns from the web documents for permanent files before wiping.
Does TurboTax keep prior year returns?
Yes, in Intuit cloud with version history per return. The phone holds a working copy plus photo cache for W-2 snaps. Edits merge on sync. Export PDFs yearly, since the phone never holds the master filing alone.
