I am using Mac version of TurboTax. I have to do a manual filing for my state and when I print my returns to mail it, the printout does not look right - alphabets/letters look smudged and not in the right format. Anyone facing this issue?

TurboTax doe not actually print the return, it just sends the pdf file to the Apple print function. Any font issue is a Mac issue. I suggest that you use the File -> Print and then in the print dialog select PDF and "Open in Preview". If it looks ok there then print from preview.

Thanks macuser_22 for this. tried it and it does look the same in preview as well! I even saved it as a PDF and tried printing from outside of TurboTax and no luck there as well!

Sounds like a Mac font issue.

This might help.

If you have Adobe Reader you can view the fonts used in the PDF by using File -> Properties -> fonts.
