updating the operation system

I have been trying to load Turbo Tax and my IMAC is operating OS 11.7 and I need to have Monterey 12 loaded but when I try to update it says I am up to date with the 11.7 Any help here?

You are confusing an update with an upgrade. An update is when (if one is available) you install a newer version of the same operating system. An upgrade is when the current operating system is replaced with a newer one such as upgrading from Ventura to Sonoma. Go to the Apple store and do a search for the OS you need and then download it, assuming that your Mac can accept the upgrade.
