Turbotax automatically prints Form 1040 based on my age. I don't want to print form 1040SR, how can I override the default setting.

Why do you care? The forms are identical except that 1040SR has bigger print. All of the lines and all of the calculations are identical.

I care because I like the 1040 font size and can read it just fine; It's easier to compare with previous year returns. 1040ST chews up a lot of paper when I print it to review.

Finally, I want the ability to decide for myself (freedom of choice).

If you use the Desktop program you can switch to forms and the Info Wks part II has a selection to select 1040SR or not.

You can not change it in the Online versions. In the Online version if you want to use the regular 1040 form, you can print out the 1040SR and copy the amounts onto a blank 1040 and then mail your return.
