Ok ... the silliest thing the IRS did was to employ this new form for anyone 65 or older ... and the ONLY differences that form has from the regular form 1040 is that the SIZE OF THE FONT is bigger, they removed the background color AND the standard deduction chart on the first page for easy reference. Other than the look of the form NOTHING is different. This was supposed to help the elderly (many of whom still paper file) to read the forms easier.
Go ahead an look at them side by side ...
