New 1040 for 2019 Tax Year

I guess the 100 million that were filed this year was a Beta test.  Now, they are coming around with the finished product.  Th IRS went overboard with the simplification and now they have had to backtrack and make it easier to understand for the taxpayer.  

Definitely looks like an improvement, though

Great, let's waste more time and money on another redesign and programming at IRS and all the vendors. 😡

The 2019 1040 draft does allow seniors to file that form with  notation for those checking age or blindness to see the instructions for the proper amount of standard deduction.  The only difference between the 2019 1040 and the 1040-S (senior) is that the "S" form has a chart at the bottom of page 1 for those checking age/blindness boxes.  I guess there were too many mistakes in the standard deduction in 2018 for those self-prepared returns.
