Since 2018 tax returns there is no such thing as "short form" or "long form." There are no more 1040EZ or 1040A forms. Everyone uses a Form 1040 with three possible schedules. Look at your 2018 tax return if you filed one--it is on a Form 1040.

The forms changed again for 2019, but they are all a Form 1040 again. You can use it whether you itemize or use standard deduction.

The tax forms for 2019 include a Form 1040 and three possible extra “Schedules”:

There is no standard deduction tax form. Taxes for individual filers are either reported on a 1040 or a 1040-SR (US Tax Form for Seniors).
