I am 66 years old. TT apparently decided to file Form 1040-SR. Sigh.

I thought the only real difference was larger type on the SR. Why would that matter for TurboTax? I'm going to e-file.

When I go into Forms Mode, I see Form 1040. Only when I print to PDF do I see 1040-SR. Why the discrepancy?

There seems to be a considerable amount of confusion and worry regarding the new Form 1040SR. There is no need to worry if your return is on a Form 1040SR this year.

Compare the Form 1040 and the Form 1040SR with each other. The lines are the same. The calculations will be done exactly the same way. The difference is the 1040SR has larger print and a different background color. There is no effect whatsoever on your tax due or refund amount.

I personally think it is great that I will not need a magnifying glass to look at my tax return this year.
