Question

1040S form eligibility for 2021

My wife and I were age eligible and used form 1040s in 2020 to file our joint tax return. For 2021, I imported tax info from 2020 but turbo is using form 1040 for us. I cannot get turbo tax to change our form to 1040s for 2021. What do I need to do to accomplish this?

    Can you please clarify if you are wanting to use Form 1040SR?

    OK. Thanks. Continuing through the review section, turbo flagged the special tax reduction and allowed me to change the amount back to $600. Then turbo successfully completed the review section.
