Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download High Sierra.

Catalina can only be upgraded on a 2012 or later MacBook Air. See: How to upgrade to macOS Catalina - Apple Support


A mid-2011 Air can be upgraded to High Sierra -- see: How to upgrade to macOS High Sierra - Apple Support


and that meets TurboTax requirements -- see: https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/system-requirements/help/minimum-system-requirements-for-turbotax-mac-software/00/25609


Another option would be to use TurboTax Online which is compatible with el Capitan. See: https://turbotax.intuit.com/personal-taxes/online/system-requirements
