No, you can't use the TurboTax free version. You can use the cryptocurrency import and other features with the TurboTax Online Premier and Self-employed versions, only. However, you won't have to pay for use of the software since you're not going to print or e-file it.
Yes, start a free tax return in TurboTax Premier Online. You don't pay for the return until you file it, so you won't have to pay the Online fee. Enter (import) your cryptocurrency information in the Crypto section, and then save the .tax file (not PDF). You can then open the tax file in TurboTax desktop, add the rest of your tax data and file.
The other option would be to file using the Online software and get a refund for the desktop program.
