I made an estimated tax payment for a traditional IRA conversion to Roth. The IRS received the payment but says I need to claim it on my tax return. How do I do this?

I made the payment through the IRS Direct Pay website. The informational statement on the website says:

"Our records show you have payments applied to your account which need to be claimed on your tax return."
