Alright, in this article, we'll teach you how to transfer H&R Block, along with its software, tax files, and settings, from one computer to another using both a migration tool and manual methods.
The usual approach is to copy and paste, by transferring tax files from “My Documents” to an external hard drive or USB stick, and then reinstalling the software on the new machine. This works, but it is cumbersome. There is a better way.
A better way to transfer is by using the Todo PCTrans tool, which can migrate the H&R Block program, data, and settings from one computer to another automatically. We offer you three transfer modes: PC to PC, Backup and Restore, and Data Rescue. This tool works for program, files, and settings migration in Windows 10/8.1/8/7/XP/Vista.
Let's take this step by step.
Step 1: Run Todo PCTrans on both computers
On the source computer, click the “PC to PC” option on the Todo PCTrans main interface, and proceed.
Step 2: Choose the transfer direction - from the old computer or to the new one
"New" - Transfer all data from an old computer to the current new one wirelessly.
"Old" - Transfer all data from your current old device to the new one.
Step 3: Connect the two computers
1. Select the IP address or device name of the target computer, then click "Connect".
2. Type the target computer's login password, then click OK to confirm.
If the target PC is not listed, you can also click Add PC to manually connect to it by entering its IP address or device name.
Step 4: Select the applications, programs, and software to transfer to the target computer
You choose what to transfer from the current computer to the target computer.
2. After selecting the apps and data you want to transfer, click on “Transfer” to start the process.
Now that the transfer is complete, you can run it. If you prefer to do things manually, then read on!

How to Transfer TurboTax to a New Windows 10/8/7 Computer
Here are some useful methods to help you transfer TurboTax to a new computer easily.
Step 1: Back up your tax documents to an external device.
1. Plug an external drive into your old computer.
Open File Explorer and hover over the “Documents” folder. Search for “HR Block” within the folder. H&R Block files have the file extension “.tx,” where “X” represents the last two digits of the tax year. For example, a 2020 tax return would have the extension “.t20.”
2. Drag or copy it to that disk.
3. Remove the drive.
Step 2. Reinstall H&R Block on your new computer from the official website.
Step 3: Plug the drive into the new computer
Open File Explorer. Drag your tax documents to the destination folder.
On the new computer, you can view your files, reports – everything just as it was. How do I transfer H&R Block from one computer to another? If neither of these options work for you, contact us. Todo PCTrans is always there for you!
