I could just tell you, but it would be better if you knew how to figure it out. So I'll do both.
A cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet ( 3 x 3 x 3 feet ).
or 46,656 cubic inches.
Your garden is 104 x 144 x 12 inches or 8-2/3 x 12 x 1 feet.
( Let's stick with feet and eliminate one conversion! )
8-2/3 x 12 x 1 = 104 cubic feet.
Taking your measurement and dividing it by the number of cubic feet in a cubic yard gives us -
104 / 27 = 3.85 cubic yards
Call it 4 cubic yards to fill any little imperfections and you're good to go.

How many cubic yards in an acre 20 yards deep?
You already have a square yard of topsoil, so how does 20 inches of depth get you the volume of topsoil? There are 36 inches in a yard, and you have 20 inches of topsoil depth that's 20/36ths of a yard of topsoil depth. That's 0.555... or about 0.56 yards. The volume of topsoil is 1 yard by 1 yard by 0.56 yards, or about 0.56 cubic yards of topsoil.
