Why can't I efile my 2018 taxes as it says I need a 1040 form? I have no itemized deductions and have selected the standard deduction. My only income is social security.

You are not getting a 1050 because you have no taxable income.  You cannot e-file a return with no taxable income and, in fact with only Social Security, you do not need to file at all.
