TurboTax text size is too small and Intuit's instructions do not work

I have been using TurboTax for my Mac for many years (from when it was Mac InTax) and the text size has always too small.  I can't find a way to increase the size.  This year (2025), I'm finally fed up with it.  This year, I have MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1 and the online instructions given do not work.  I've tried ALL the suggestions and instructions found, but they do not work.  If I can't find the correct solution, I will subscribe to a different tax prep program.

I also use a Mac.   Have you tried going to settings-- displays  on your Mac and simply increasing the text size yourself so that when you use TT the text will be bigger?

Yes, I've tried the system setting, the TurboTax settings, and all  online suggestions.  Nothing works.  Why doesn't Intuit just add the function to adjust the text size,  or better yet why make it so small?

The Mac settings do not affect TurboTax text; only the Mac text.

I understand your frustration----I have macular degeneration and need large font and lots of contrast---but I have  been able to enlarge the font size and the contrast by using the settings on my own Mac.  See if this helps:

Yay google ...
