I e-filed and paid online. The IRS sent a letter stating I still owe- I paid under my account, husband is listed HOH, how do I apply my payment to our taxes.

IRS shows the payment on my account under payment history, but it isn't being applied to anything and they show that I owe for this tax year when I log in -I need them to apply the payment I already made under my account to our household tax debt?

What do you mean that your spouse is listed as Head of Household?   Did you not file a joint tax return?   If you filed a joint return it is impossible to enter him as head of household.  Are you confusing the idea of just entering his name first on the tax return as "head of household?"  Head of Household is a specific filing status that you would only use if you lived apart for at least six months in 2021 and he had the children.   

Please explain what you did when you filed.  What filing status is shown on your Form 1040?   You refer to "our" taxes and "my" account --- so it is very confusing to figure out what you did.

@amber-d-perez - when you respond, please explain your family situation.  

if you are married, do you live together? do you have children? did you and your spouse file separate returns or one return? 

if there are separate return, and he filed "HOH", what filing status did you file under and why did you two file separate returns?
