1040-EZ and 1040-A were eliminated in 2018, so pretty much everyone uses 1040 now (which was probably simplified, I haven't compared). There's also 1040-SR for seniors.

That's what I do for state, since my state has a relatively simple tax structure and offers free online e-file. For federal my situation is similar, I'm happy to pay someone < $100 to deal with all the schedules and calculations and make sure things are consistent. An accountant would be much more, and inertia keeps me with TurboTax, for better or worse.
