HOW TO EDIT 2024 tax return directly into TurboTax

Using 2024 TurboTax Premier Desktop, not online. I updated the software online just an hour ago.

I am finished with taxes.  I have done the taxes offline except to get update on software and import state.

 

I want to edit my 5329 explanation. However, in FORMS mode, TurboTax is NOT allowing me to make changes.

 

ALSO: when I tried printing the entire tax return via Print to Mail... form 5329 was totally blank and Explanation was omitted.  So, I saved as PDF, and there it is.  BUT the explanation is not legible because letters are microscopic.  It needs fewer words per line.  But it will not allow me to edit the form.

 

At this point, taxes are finished.  I have run all the reviews and had almost no corrections.

 

Another problem is that all the TurboTax "typing" on my return is very light and hard to read, even though the FORM itself is dark and visible.  It is not like prior years with legible entries.  How can I get the lettering more legible?

At this time, there is not a setting that can be changed within the program to make the entries more legible or to print darker.

IF Windows 11, you can try a different Contrast Theme in the Windows "Settings"<<<"Accessibility"   area.

 

Mine is set at "None" and reads great.

 

I tried all of the other 4 settings....one of them makes a bunch of text disappear in the TTX Forms selection screen....and another an almost unreadable yellow...the other two?..ehhh whatever.
