This would be something you would have to do from your settings on your computer. Not in Turbo Tax. Try the steps in this link.

Have you tried these instructions to alter the size of the font? Pressing CTRL and the PLUS SIGN should increase the font size in both the Online version and the Desktop version's of TurboTax. You can decrease the size of the font by pressing CTRL and the MINUS SIGN.

That only increases the size of the form you are working on. It does nothing to increase the microscopic text in the pop-ups, help screens, etc. This appears to be a poorly designed product.

If I change the display settings on my computer to get readable text in TurboTax, I end up with truly huge text in all my other programs. This is clearly a problem within TurboTax and Intuit needs to get a fix.

Hi, Curious if you were able to resolve the issue, I also feel the screen size /fonts are too small on turbo tax mac software.

This is a common issue and would be great if you can fix the User Interface and make the text bigger or ability to change the size of the font, its not a Mac problem.

Using the downloaded software on my Windows 10 computer:

I noticed that AFTER the initial screen(s), i.e., before TT searches to see if your computer has any previous years' TT tax returns, the program interface changes and offers a Zoom feature through the View menu. Also, in the smaller windows (panes) that pop up when you click on things like "Learn More" or on the "?" (question mark), a pair of icons at the top of that answer or info pane (these are actually buttons, by behavior) showing a Large capital A and a smaller capital A offer the same results of respectively increasing or decreasing the text size within that pane.

This is clearly a problem. I've used TurboTax for over 20 years and never had this mess. The font is gigantic; the tool bars are gigantic. When I shrink them, it then shrinks everything else on my PC--which is a pain to go back and forth just to be able to use TurboTax.

Jeff is right -- this is a big flaw and needs to be fixed.
