If your tax software is TurboTax, you can use TurboTax Online with much older Macs. I use it with my new Mac and it works very well. I prefer it to the installable version.
If you are using some other tax software, they may have a similar option.

Check Settings > Software Update to see if the version of Mac that you have has any available updates.
If not, unfortunately the tax software will not run on Big Sur, but you still may be able to run an online version of the tax software.
