1040 - SR and Distributions from a Non-Qualified Pension

I got blindsided when I went to save my return to .pdf, and then looked at it, and it showed me 1040-SR instead of 1040. I was not familiar with 1040-SR. Eventually after wasting time searching I discovered that Turbo Tax prints on a different form than what appears in Forms view. This needs to be clarified. Can this be improved? I finally figured this out, and next I reviewed my 1040, and my W-2 income did not appear on line 1a. Again I wasted time Googling and finally found out that Turbo Tax transfers W-2 income shown on box 11 to line 8 on the 1040. This also needs to be clarified. Can Turbo Tax improve these items in future Turbo Tax Desktop releases so I save time, avoid stress and gain confidence in the results?
