All the time I was doing my 2020 tax return with TurboTax, I thought I was using Form 1040. That's what I would look at when switching from EasyStep to Forms. But when I printed a digital copy of my tax return after filing it electronically, I saw that what was submitted was Form 1040-SR. But the strange thing is that when I look at the list of available forms in Form mode, there is a Form 1040 and a Form1040/1040-SR Worksheet, but no Form 1040-SR. Where is Form 1040-SR?

The Form 1040 and Form 1040SR are identical except that 1040SR has bigger print. The lines are exactly the same; the calculations are done in exactly the same way. The software uses the date of birth you entered in My Info to select which form to put your return on. If you were 65 or older at the end of 2020, your tax return is on Form 1040SR.
