Numbers don't line up on printed tax return

I got done with my tax return on Turbotax and went to print my tax return for my records. To my dismay, many of the numbers did not line up when I printed the return - and some of the descriptors ran over into other pages.  It is NOT my printer and I have used Turbotax for 35 years.

Numbers don't line up on printed tax return

Actually, the answer to the problem turned out to be quite simple -- once I managed to contact a live person through Turbo-tax support. She said that returns are printed using Adobe and that if one has Windows 11 Adobe isn't automatically provided! News to me! She said NOT having Adobe usually causes the snarl-up in printed tax forms.

 

I downloaded Adobe and printed my tax return with no further problem.  I think TT should make a notice on their program that Adobe needs to be downloaded.

Numbers don't line up on printed tax return

I just printed a few pages of my return using the same tax file, but using two different computers, each with its the app installed and its own printer. Everything on both printouts lined up.

Check your paper supply. paper too thin or thick or perhaps sticking slightly can cause misalignment.  For printer settings, choose "fit" if available.

 

another possibity is to save as a PDF and then print the PDF. computer/printer combinations vary so much that it may not be possible to resolve your problem.
