I've got some crypto transactions I can't figure out how to import
Looks like there is only a direct link to import from cointracker via the online version of TurboTax. OK, so which file then do I want to import into the PC premium verion? And from what I recall from last year doesn't it have to go in via the FILE: Import: From Accounting Software

You can use the cryptocurrency import and other features with the TurboTax Online Premier and Self-employed versions, only.
One option is to 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.
According to IRS Notice 2014-21, the IRS considers cryptocurrency to be property, and capital gains and losses need to be reported on Schedule D and Form 8949 if necessary.
Like other capital gains and losses, your gain may be short-term or long-term, depending on how long you held the cryptocurrency before selling or exchanging it.
How you report cryptocurrency on your tax return depends on how you got it and how you used it. To read more, click here.
