TurboTax fails after importing transactions

 TurboTax was "Importing 1551 transactions from Coinbase." After more than 5 minutes of the progress bar being nearly 99% done, TurboTax complains that it "could not import this."

 

Next try to import from Coinbase Pro and my transactions it received are missing values.

 

I move on to try to import from Binance.us and see that it says instant linking is possible, but unfortunately the next page asks me for a CVS. I go to binance, download my 2022 transactions, upload that to TurboTax and the same failure awaits after 332 transactions.

 

I tumble on to importing from Fidelity and that also fails.

 

I tried combinations of Windows 10, Linux mint 21.1, Android12, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera.
