Your tax profile is the information Epic Games is required to collect to fulfill tax withholding and reporting requirements.
You'll only reach the Tax Profile screen if you need to provide tax information, are of an eligible age for the program, and have demonstrated that you qualify to join the selected program.
If you have already successfully set up a tax profile with Epic Games, you should not have to do it again.
