I don't see that Big Sur is an option when I try to upgrade on my computer. Is this possible and if so, how? I've backed up and gone to System Prefs but do not see that as an option as described in online guides. It's a 21.5" late 2012 quad-core Intel i5 w/ 876.37 GB memory available.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
sorry, no. you need a 2014 iMac to run Big Sur.

Thx. Sometimes my files don't transfer to TT if they don't have the right file extension name, and I am not fond of having my financial info online, but I guess I'll have to do that, in lieu of buying a new computer. Do you know if a file is named "2021 taxes," can I simply rename it with the correct file extension? (.tax2021)? That's what it says under the info tab on this file "2021 Taxes.tax2021" Thx again.

sorry, IDK. I use TT's competition. :)
It's unlikely the file was created without an extension, even if it shows that way. Check the Get Info... dialog, under "Name & Extension". If that shows "2021 Taxes.tax2021", then the file already has the correct extension. (Very likely, with "Hide extension" checked underneath it.)
Unless you turn on the "Show all filename extensions" preference (Finder > Preferences... > Advanced), macOS won't necessarily show the extension for some files, but the name shown in the Info dialog is the full filename.
You're better off just unchecking "Hide extension" in that dialog, if you really want to see the extension, rather than trying to rename the file. And if it really doesn't have an extension, you can edit the name right there in that field of the Info dialog, to be sure you're editing the full name+extension.
That iMac model can't be upgraded past Catalina.

Thanks to you both. TurboTax keeps changing the OS needed for using download.
