Well my dad thought it was a bright idea to do all his taxes and stuff on my computer, and i've been pestering him to move all the stuff to this laptop because it would be safer there. Now i really need to do a factory reset of my computer, however i'm scared of losing all of his work done on tubotax...which are shown as pdf. files....What i was thinking of doing is saving all the work he did on a usb and then once i finish resting the computer reinstalling tubotax on his computer and moving the files that way.....Does anyone think that will work or will it screw all his stuff up?

that tax software might have other non-standard files associated with it that he actually does the work in before saving as .pdf.
Like how microsoft word has .docx but you can save it as a pdf if you want.
If you loose those he'll probably kill you.

Go talk to your father about it.
Explain the situation to him.

Tell your dad before you do anything, just in case something goes wrong so he knows.

Fixed, but yeah, I agree with your statement, I'd ask him about it just to be safe.
