1040 versusu 1040-SR

I need to file an amended return. TurboTax prints out both a 1040 and a 1040-SR in the return packet, but they have significantly different amounts owed. Whihch do I file as my amended return (clearly I would prefer to use the one with less owed)?

I am not sure how you got them both. The 1040SR is only if you are 65 or older. It is just a simpler to read form but the taxable amount should be the same. If you itemize then yiun cannot file a 1040SR.

What lines are different?
