There's a 1040-SR form now, TurboTax tells me.

I had no idea until I printed out a copy of our return after e-filing. If you do your taxes by hand, Google says, the print on the forms is larger. Maybe there is some other benefit too, otherwise why would TurboTax bother to use it?

1. I did my taxes by hand,

I saw the 1040-SR form and upon further review, I thought it was a joke, the fucking printing was larger for us old geezers. It did make me laugh, but what a waste of taxpayer dollars. Oh, I filled out the 1040 form with my glasses on.

[question everything]

4. Last year the WSJ reported that hand written and prepared returns have more mistakes

Interesting story. Where could they find a hand written tax return that was in public? Why, Sanders, of course. Last year he released his previous ten years returns and the one from 2009 was hand written..

2. Might Be A Way

for those that no longer file 1040s to file so they can get stimulus checks direct deposited. TurboTax had a online signup for this and then they would forward to the IRS on your behalf. This way it's direct.

3. Was also last year. Yes, large print. When I started with TurboTax the return was 3 pages long

When I switched to TaxAct (a long story) it uses the regular size fonts and is only 2 pages.

5. Yes that is the only difference,

and when you use the regular 1040 printed front and back it is only 1 page.

6. It's a great benefit to the visually impaired to have large print in some cases. ❤ nt

7. I use e-file online.

Used the 1040-SR this year.
Standard deduction is now better than itemizing.
Still got over 2 grand back.
