No, unfortunately. if the IRS has not processed your 2020 return yet, you cannot easily apply the amount to this year's tax liability. This is because the IRS has each tax year account isolated. You may be able to call the IRS 1-800-829-1040 and ask them to check the account for 2020 and explain the situation to see if they can help. NOTE: The IRS phone line is busy at best especially this time of year. The phone lines open at 7am local time and if you can call right at 7am you have the best shot of reaching them.
