So this new form is for printing or submission via mail and is not used for online submission..in other words the data is sent electronically as a 1040 not a 1040SR to the IRS,correct?
I do not want to use as a protest...what a waste of tax dollars to make an identical form in larger font with a table for deductions......we are not all blind and we are not all in need of a table instead of reading about it. It is like the government wants to put us in our place old and senile. Give us a label to make us all the same ...
The Form 1040-SR is exactly the same as the Form 1040. It can be used for either e-filing or for mailing.
I used the 1040-SR and e-filed my tax return in March with no issues whatsoever.
Granted it is not only redundant but probably not needed. Although there will be other seniors who like the form due to its larger font type and the information on the form.
As in most cases there is no pleasing everyone.
