I need macOS 10.14 or later on my iMac (27" around mid 2011). I have macOS 10.13.6 currently. Is it possible to get a software update?

Not possible. A 2011 iMac lacks the required hardware to run any macOS version higher than what you now have. It's maxed out.

If you tell us what applications are forcing the issue, we may be able to offer suggestions for alternatives.

MacOS 10.14 (Mojave) requires an iMac models 2012 and newer. Your iMac is no longer able to be upgraded beyond MacOS 10.13.x (High Sierra)

What is your specific problem that has you "needing" 10.14? The only option is to get a new iMac (or buy a later used model) that is still supported by Apple.

No.

You can use the web version of iWork on the iCloud website, use iWork on the Mac if installed already (but it can’t be installed if it isn’t already), or use LibreOffice. https://www.libreoffice.org/

Apple does not sell Office. It's a Microsoft product.

I was using Office365 on High Sierra back in the day. While I haven't been on High Sierra for a while, I haven't read anything to imply that Office365 no longer runs on MacOS 10.13 (High Sierra). It should still work.

I am trying to download a turbo tax cd. It won’t let me download because it requires macOS 14.0 My Mac only has macOS 10.13.6. Any solutions

If your machine doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run macOS 10.14, then you'll either need to buy a new machine or resort to using the web version of turbotax.

Turbo Tax 2020 requires Max OS 10.14. Can you suggest another tax prep software?

FWIW, there is a free TurboTax 2020 online version.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Linked to this, is there any way to get Word on a 2011 iMac?

Apple no longer sells a version of office that is compatible with High Sierra.

Look into an alternative like Libre Office.

Doh! Got me. Brain and fingers running ad direct speeds...

Meant to say MS... and yes, you're right, 2016 should work, however, Microsoft no longer sells it.
