How do I select between the regular 1040 and the 1040-SR? I don't need (or want) to use the senior version. It wastes paper when printed

Using the TurboTax online editions there is no way to select between the Form 1040 and the 1040-SR.

If you print the 1040SR it uses one extra piece of paper because it has larger print and takes 3 pages instead of two.   Everything else is the same---the worksheets are the same.   If you are using the CD/download you can choose whether you print it on the 1040SR or 1040.   If you are using online and you 65 or older it will print out on a 1040SR.

Thank you for your response.

You write:

I'm indeed using the CD/download. However, when I choose "Print" from the file menu, I have the choice to print federal, state, or both. I don't see how to chose the normal 1040. Could you please let me know how do I choose the normal 1040?

 

Thank  you again for your response
