The Premium version of TurboTax Online is needed to report IRS form 1099-B information.  

You may elect to report summary information from a PDF file of your IRS form 1099-B.  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.
