Just by answering all the questions and entering all your income etc.  Turbo Tax fill out the 1040 or 1040SR  for you.  Then you continue on through the File tab and either efile or print and mail your return.  You don't pick the 1040 or 1040SR. Turbo Tax gives you the 1040SR if you or your spouse is 65 or older.
