To make the font larger in TurboTax,For the Desktop version, click the capital "A" icon in the bottom right corner of the TT screen. In TurboTax Online, use your browser's zoom setting (Ctrl/+ or View menu) to increase the text size.

Thank you!!!  This year we could not get the 1099's to download.  All of our financial institutions are on the list. Very irritating.

@mwcondry  I'm sorry this is happening to you.  this is most likely due to two factor authentication by your bank or broker where you must allow TT access on their side.  It is not a TT issue,  security gets increased every year which is a good thing, but, requires more work on individuals part. Or it could be due to high usage overwhelming the bank/broker during tax time. Contact the bank/broker.   Honestly I always prefer to manually input my info and only possibly transfer trades over if over 10 as then I'm assured I did everything correct and no errant issues in the data transfer.

Manual entry takes a long time and prone to errors.  I do taxes with my wife, I do the homework and she puts most of it in.  I always check the numbers to see the download was correct but it prevents errors.  Its not the bank, they clearly say TT is allowed.
