The tag below your question says that you are using TurboTax Online. If that's true it makes no difference whether you access it from Windows or a Mac.
If you are actually using the desktop TurboTax software installed on your Windows computer, the Windows and Mac software are separate products. If you purchased the desktop software for Windows, call TurboTax customer service during the week and ask them if they will give you a download of the desktop software for Mac at no charge.
Do you need to buy and start the 2024 Mac Desktop program? You can buy the Mac Desktop program here.

Or have you already bought the Windows version? Since you now have to log into an Intuit Account when you first install it, all your downloads and licenses are listed there (even if you bought it from somewhere else) so if you need to install it again or install on another computer, even on the other operating system (Windows, Mac) you can download it again here,

Do you need to also move your tax returns to Mac?
You only need the tax return data file ending in .tax2023 to transfer into 2024 or .tax2024 to transfer into next year. On Windows your tax return files should be in your Documents in a Turbo Tax folder. Copy all the files ending in .tax and pdf to the Mac.
You can't transfer the programs. They have to be installed from the CD or Download. You don't need to install older programs unless you need to amend or you didn't save the pdf file.
See this article on how to move your tax return to another computer…….

IMPORTANT
After you get the program installed or reinstalled the first thing to do before you open your tax return is to update the program and install any state programs you had. Then open your file. So you first might need to start a fake return to be able to download the state program (go to FILE - NEW). Enter some basic information, then go to the state tab and download the state program. Then try to open your existing return, go to FILE - OPEN
You might need to start a new fake return for your existing returns to show up.
See my account for 2023. I bought Windows. At the top you can download the Mac software.
