You don't have to trust it to make use of it. I've used Turbo Tax online for the last 10 years or so. Every one of my returns is accessible by logging into my Turbo Tax account. Of course, I have all the PDFs stored and backed up locally myself also.
My gmail is not locally anywhere though. It would be a bummer if I lost all that email but not life ending. I actually trust google to keep it safe more than a $150 hard drive in my PC actually.
