Are you using TurboTax CD/Download or TurboTax Online?

Unfortunately, there’s no way to change the size of these things within the TurboTax program.

 

You can go into the settings for Windows and change the scale setting, but this will apply to all programs on you computer, not just TurboTax.

I understand that, actually, it is not programed to be adjustable. There is already a button that allow characters sizing in some part of screens. It should be possible to affect the rest to the screen.

 

I am using many programs, and this is the only one that has very characters in drop down menu and that the buttons and the text under buttons that are so small.

 

Can you transfer the request to programmers, they are able to fix this.

 

Mean time, can you provide recommended Windows setting that makes text under buttons readable?

Yes, I will pass on your request to our product development team. Thank you for your input.

 

The "Scale" setting in Windows does make the text under the buttons bigger, but not a lot. There is also a magnification tool built into Windows that will make the whole screen bigger.
