I am filing jointly. My wife is 67. I am 64 and still working. Why would TurboTax select 1030-SR?

If one of you is 65 or older the software uses the Form 1040SR. The 1040SR and Form 1040 are identical---the 1040SR just has bigger print. The lines are numbered the same and the calculations are done exactly the same way. It is nothing to worry about.
