Get your taxes done using TurboTax

My problem is my 1040 printed out on a 1040-SR and used my itemized deductions, rather than the standard deduction, which is smaller.  However, what I find is that if you use 1040-SR, you must use the standard deduction.  So why did TurboTax put me on a 1040-SR when I have itemized deductions?


The 1040SR has nothing to do with deductions whatsoever.  

 

The 1040 and 1040SR are exactally the same, but the IRS printed *paper* 1040SR is in larger type for those over 65 with poor eyesight.      On a computer there are the same form.

 

You can use either deduction with either form.
