Deductions & credits

1st you should go to your online account  - 

https://www.irs.gov/payments/your-online-account

 

Check if the payments sent are applied to the correct tax years.

You will need to provide a return for each year if they were never filed. So this will counter the IRS transcript. Showing the amounts originally owed, ect..

 

If you made Estimated payments in any of those years or in this tax year, you can add in those payments in Turbo Tax when preparing the return  - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-payments/enter-estimated-tax-payment...

 

You can use the Online Payment Agreement application on IRS.gov to request an installment agreement if you owe $50,000 or less in combined tax, penalties and interest and file all returns as required. An installment agreement allows you to make payments over time, rather than paying in one lump sum.

 

If you need to speak to the IRS about the mixed up payments, here is their link for telephone assistance -
