The difference is that the first sentence is wrong while the second is correct. The noun "reason" usually isn't paired with preposition "to". The following would be correct:
I have a good reason for resolving my question.
In the second sentence, "to" is not a preposition but part of the full infinitive verb "to resolve". The noun "reason" is often paired with a full infinitive.

@user2925716 It doesn't appear that anyone did down-vote your question. Anyway I'm up-voting it. In answer to the question in your comment - there is no difference in meaning whatever.– WS2Commented Jul 24, 2022 at 21:51
