My taxes have flagged for the first time homebuyers credit and I had that transferred to the correct person in 2016. How do I get this corrected?

If you correctly filed form 5405 in 2016 to report that you transferred the home to your spouse in a divorce, making them responsible for the rest; and you are getting blocked now for not including a payment; you will need to print your return and mail it this year.

Try contacting the taxpayer advocate service to get the credit database fixed for next year.  https://www.irs.gov/advocate
