I found one way around it. I can go through the stock path, enter the summary. Guess that works.
Turbotax wants me to upload a 1099-B. I don't have one. But TaxBit generated a 8949. I hope that is good enough since more detailed.
BTW, my PDF file was too big and wouldn't upload to TurboTax. Adobe Online has a compress feature: https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/acrobat/compress-pdf
Do I still need to mail in the 8949?
If TaxBit generated an 8949 and you chose the option to enter a summary instead of entering each sale, the IRS requires that you mail a copy of the brokerage statement listing the individual sales.
You may elect to report summary information. Your brokerage statements should include a summary of your transactions, grouped by sales category, for example, Box A short-term covered or Box D long-term covered. You will enter the summary info instead of each individual transaction.
If you choose the option to enter a summary instead of entering each sale, The IRS requires that you mail a copy of the brokerage statement listing the individual sales.
If you e-file, TurboTax will produce an IRS Form 8453. You print the IRS Form 8453 and attach the brokerage statement(s) to it.
If you file by mail, attach the statement(s) to the back of your tax return, after all the forms and schedules.
In either case, click the mailing instructions link in the message at the bottom of the TurboTax page and follow the instructions that it displays.
