How do I enlarge the font size on my screen?

With the TurboTax program started, click on the icon at the bottom right of desktop program screen that is a capital A.  The large A increase the size and the smaller A decreases the size.

Thanks for pointing that out.

I completely missed it when I loaded TT. LOL I have been using TT for 10 Years +??

Also I can go to View and zoom up and down as well as using Control up/down. It seems to me on a previous using the A's lower right would only enlarge so big.

Thanks again.

Is it possible to enlarge the font size in TurboTax for Mac? I'm using 2024 but don't see a capital A in the bottom right of my screen or anywhere else.

That only applies to text documents, e.g. word, where you want to increase/change the font being typed.
There is no such Menu in TurboTax for Mac.

Another expert recommended the following to increase font/text size:

 

How to Increase the Text Size on Your Mac

  1. Click the Apple icon in the top left corner.
  2. Select System Preferences.
  3. Select Displays.
  4. Click Scaled.
  5. Select a lower resolution. If you see icons with different sized previews of text, select the icon that says Larger Text and click OK.

 

Another description of this fix, adjusting the resolution on your screen, appears on this Apple Support page:

 

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Displays in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.) Select the display you want to adjust, then select the resolution you want to use. You may be able to turn on “Show all resolutions” to see additional resolutions for the display.

 

Depending on how you adjust the resolution, some app windows may not fit entirely on the screen. Using a scaled resolution may affect performance.

 

In the alternative, you could hook up a separate monitor to your Mac.
