If you are 65 or older, your return will print out on 1040SR. Form 1040 and Form 10140SR are identical. All the lines are the same and all of the calculations are exactly the same. The only difference is that 1040SR has bigger print.

The rules for Form 1040-SR state "Form 1040-SR is available to you if you were born before January 2, 1961." E.g., if you were born in 1960 or 1959 and so on. If you were born in 1976, you will not be able to elect to use this version of the form.

TurboTax automatically populates the 1040/1040-SR version given the date of birth you've entered, along with all applicable senior tax incentives, for those who qualify.
