How to load Coinbase CSV into TurboTax Premier for free in 2022?

TurboTax claims it work. But it is NOT.

TurboTax gives the option to upload the Coinbase CSV but "Validation Failed" every time!

This is very frustrating. TurboTax gives the option to upload the Coinbase CSV, but TurboTax will not accept the Coinbase CSV format! It sounds like a bit of false advertising of their partnership when it comes to the real compatibility.

Here is how I make it work for free in 2022:

Get CVS file from Coinbase
