The names have made it pretty confusing for sure!
Premier is a software version that is used for investment taxes, including crypto, stocks, and rental property ($89--state additional)

Premium Services is an add-on feature that allows users in California to pay their TurboTax fees by having the fees deducted from their federal refund. (extra $45 added to fees)

And recently TurboTaxPremium Online has appeared for "Self-Employment, stocks, bonds , ESPPs, crypto, and rental property income." ($119---state additional)

I frankly do not understand the differences between Premier and Premium--other than the pricing, and do not know how you upgrade to Premium if needed from within the software.
I suggest asking for help from customer support.
