Printing 2022 1040 and State Forms ProducesStreaks Across Forms
I have a "Twilight Zone" issue printing my 2022 income taxes from TurboTax. The federal forms print with horizontal streaks ranging from 2 to 7 millimeters high, and about 85% of the page width with a taper toward the left edge. The state forms have streaks on a few pages, but not as many. However, for the federal pages that are included as part of the state forms, the streaks appear in the exact same configuration as for the federal printout. On screen, the forms look perfect. So here's what's bizarre: the streaks are repeatable and look exactly the same when a given page is printed. I tried it more than 4 times, including after cleaning print heads (which I cleaned prior to printing taxes in the first place) and setting to "fit to page" or "actual size." It doesn't matter if I print from within TurboTax, or directly from the Acrobat Reader. Furthermore, no other documents I print exhibit this - direct from the internet browser, pdf of prior year taxes, from spreadsheet or word processor, any pdf at all prints correctly. But not 2022 tax forms. I have cycled the printer on/off, made sure I have the latest TurboTax updates, etc. Any ideas? (FYI, running Windows 11.)
