On a personal tax return you cannot apply a current year tax refund to prior year taxes owed. You can only apply the current year tax refund to the next year's taxes. If you had a tax debt for a prior year the IRS should have seized the federal tax refund and applied that to the taxes owed.
Federal taxes owed and paid for a prior tax year are not reported on nor deductible on a federal tax return.
thank you, that is helpful, but what about state?
