Just filed and your software automatically filed for me with 1040 SR. I am 69 but my wife is 63 and I've been told both spouses ahve to be 65. Is that true?

    Compare the Form 1040 and the Form 1040SR with each other.  The lines are the same.  The calculations will be done exactly the same way.  The difference is the 1040SR has larger print.  There is no effect whatsoever on your tax due or refund amount.

      TT automatically printed for 1040-SR.  This has never happened before and my husband and I have been "seniors" for many years.  If the size of type is the only difference, can we choose 1040 instead?  It would save ink and paper!

      If it already printed out on Form 1040SR, how would you save ink and paper by printing it again on Form 1040?
