Morphology

tax + program

The meaning 'a computer program for preparing or filing taxes' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'tax' (government charge) with 'program' (computer software). This regular noun–noun compound follows common compounding patterns found across languages and would be readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.

Etymology

Tax program puts together tax and program. Tax means 'money people pay to the government' and program means 'a planned set of actions', so a tax program is a government's plan or system for how taxes are decided and collected.
