I already have an established Roth IRA retirement savings account. Can I still get a tax credit by contributing to it? Or does it have to be a new account?

Contributions to a Roth IRA account are not tax deductible. They are made with after-tax dollars.

On the other hand, qualified distributions from a Roth IRA are tax-free.

I have a Late Payment Penalty, but last year I filed before deadline with TurboTax and IRS debited directly from my bank account shortly after. How do I get rid of this?
