A late 2012 iMac can be upgraded to Catalina 10.15.7 but no later.

The TurboTax 2022 CD/Download software requires macOS Big Sur or later. See: https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/cd-download/tta-system-requirements

If you can't or don't want to upgrade your macOS, another option is to use TurboTax Online https://turbotax.intuit.com. It is excellent and will run on macOS Mojave 10.14 or newer. See: https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/system-requirements
