11580: 1040-SS or 1040-PR

Form 1040-SS can be generated and e-filed using Drake Tax.

Note: The software does not support the filing of a Form 1040 and Form 1040-SS/1040-PR in the same return. Currently, Drake Tax only supports the filing of a Form 1040 or a Form 1040-SS/PR. See below for details on generating Form 1040-SS/1040-PR instead of Form 1040.
Puerto Rico Form 482 is not supported in Drake Tax. 
Form 1040-PR is only available for creation and e-filing through Drake22. Form 1040-PR is no longer available after Drake22.
