Font (text) size too small in Mac desktop version

[PDundon]

I use the Mac download version. Can you help me to enlarge the font size?

[ee-ea]

A trick that often works is to enlarge the screen a little.  Hold down the control button (ctrl) while hitting the pluus key ( + ) (just above the P).

[PDundon]

No, that IS one way to enlarge the screen, but it wasn't really a good fix for the font size issue. 

Thanks anyway, we muddled through and finished our taxes.

does nothing, the only way is to change the screen resolution, pain in the ass

I think the only way is to change the screen resolution which is a completel pain in the ass. Please fix this and give us the font size buttons that Windows has.

In Windows, there is a zoom bar at the bottom of the screen @jastle421

I'm not sure how that helps a mac user like myself. Why is it omitted in the mac version? That's the real question.

Other things to try:

While the TurboTax desktop application for Mac lacks a zoom feature similar to the Windows version, you can increase font sizes through specific view settings or macOS system tools, you can try the following options:

• Forms Mode Scaling: In the Forms view, press Command + , (comma) to open the "Form Scale" dialog.   This allows you to adjust the tax form font size between 50% - 200%.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Try Command + Plus (+) or Command + Minus (-) to see if you can zoom in and out on the active window.
• Accessibility Zoom:
  1. Open the Apple menu > System Settings > Accessibility > Zoom.
  2. Enable "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom."
  3. Hold Control and scroll up with your mouse or trackpad to zoom in specifically on the TurboTax interface.
• Lower the screen Resolution
