IRS has released Form 1040-SR. It's a joke. I don't see anywhere within Settings/Options to suppress it. and force Form 1040. Am I missing it?

    IMHO, the IRS has its reasons for producing 1040-SR, not for tax pros but for self-prepared returns of elderly folks.  I wouldn't fault them for trying.

    To suppress 1040-SR, try Screen 3.

    I can check the box on Screen 3, but it has no effect - Lacerte still produces the 1040-SR as the default for a senior (and it's not ready yet).  

    And how can I disable the 1040-SR for ALL clients?  I don't want it.  I don't see anything in Settings.

    It should be visible now with today's update.

    Good job, George.  I didn't bother to look, as filing a return of any type is a long way off for me, after many many updates come.
