Why? The are exactly the same form.

The Form 1040-SR has larger type and is 3 pages long. The Form 1040 has normal type and is two pages long.

If you are age 65 or older the default is the Form 1040-SR.

When you print it will print on the 1040SR even if you see only the 1040 on the screen. You automatically get the 1040SR if you or your spouse is 65 or older. In the Desktop program you can tell it which one to print.

If you use the Desktop program you can switch to forms and the Info Wks part II has a selection to select 1040SR or not. You can not change it in the Online versions. In the Online version if you want to use the regular 1040 form, you can print out the 1040SR and copy the amounts onto a blank 1040 and then mail your return.

The answer to "why" would one want to change to regular 1040 from 2040 SR is that age bias and discrimination is real! Not all of us are retired at age 65 and some of us may need to share our 1040 with 3rd parties for rental and/or other applications. A tax form that boldly states at the top of the first page that you are a senior is NOT a good thing, regardless of whether you need or want the larger print. It should NOT be the default form imposed on customer by Intuit/Turbo Tax.
