TurboTax Desktop PDF Export - Font issue

  • October 27, 2022

Hi,

 

I am printing my return using Turbo Tax Desktop and all entries font looks not normal.

I exported to PDF and all the entries font size is small i.e., less bold, less in size 

 

How to print all entries with bold or increase in size? Is there a setting that I need to adjust?

 

Thanks

Sv

    there are no printer settings within Turbotax. so it may be an issue with your printer. when you go to print check the settings 

    or if your looking at the form onscreen it may be tats the way it ppears

    settings - varies by printer 

    minimum 600 dots per inch (DPI) printer could be low on ink/toner

    size - actual 100%

    print in grayscale and save toner should not be checked

    paper size 8.5 x 11

     

     

    another option is to save it as a PDF and print from the PDF - you may want only the forms needed for filing. since another option is every form and worksheet in the file  which can be over 100 pages

    I updated the original post.

     

    Actually, I exported to PDF and then when you see it is very less bold and less in size. My issue is with the PDF export only on Windows 11 laptop.

     

    This is on TurboTax Premium Desktop Edition.

     

    Before I used TurboTax online, I did not face this issue.

    When you print it is even coming lighter. All the form looks fine. Only the entries. See the photo "Self-Prepared" is light and less bold
