the Plus and Minus keys don't seem to work on the MAC desktop version of the software using the Control or Command keys. (for 2019 taxes)

Is there a different solution?

There should also be a menu option to increase and decrease the font size.

The steps to change font size are dependent on what type display your Mac has. This link How to Increase All System Font Size in Mac OS X has directions on changing font sizes on a Mac.

Pressing CTRL and PLUS SIGN should increase the font size in both the Online version and Desktop version.

You can decrease the size of the font by pressing CTRL and MINUS SIGN

That tip does increase the size of the print on the screen. I'm not at home, so can't check - will this also increase the font size when I print? For some reason, one year of the return prints a lot lighter than the other, even though the settings are the same for both returns. Any advice?

I have vision issues and find it very hard to read the light gray print on a dark background. The best contrast is bright yellow on a dark background. I can't be the only person with this issue. I saw 2 previous posts from June 2019 - has anything been done to allow us to change the color of the font??

You can increase the size of the font by pressing CTRL and Plus Sign and you can decrease the font size by pressing CTRL and Minus Sign.

Somewhat disappointing that with a mature TurboTax application on a MAC; a user can't adjust size of what is being displayed for data entry and reviews? This is on the installed application, not the web version.

I had the same problem and with the help of a TurboTax phone help wizard, we were able to get to a solution.

On an I-Mac, push your cursor all the way to the top of the screen. When the tool bar appears, go to the little black apple in the upper left corner of the screen. Click on the apple and a menu will appear. Click on "System Preferences." A "System Preferences" window should appear momentarily. Find the "Displays" icon and click on it. In the window that appears, select "Display." At "Resolution," select "Scaled." Pick a lower resolution scale and click on it. The screen should blacken momentarily, then the new scale will be displayed both in the window and in the TurboTax Screen. You might want to try the different display scales to decide which you prefer.

Hope this works for you the way it did for me.

All the Best!
