Do I need to file a different form this year If I am a senior citizen?

SR Form?

[xmasbaby0]

If you are 65 or older, when you print your return it will print out on Form 1040SR.  Form 1040 and Form 1040SR are identical.  All the lines are the same, all the calculations are the same.   The only difference is the size of the print.  Your refund or tax due are not affected in any way by using Form 1040 or 1040SR.

No, all senior citizens aren't required to use Form 1040-SR.  

• The 1040-SR has all of the same information as the regular 1040.
• The 1040-SR has larger print and charts.
• TurboTax will automatically adjust the format.
