@Brittjoan99 Each tax year is separate. Your 2021 tax return only shows what you owe for 2021. It does not show anything for what you might still owe for 2020. Did you owe tax due for 2020 that you have not yet paid?

If you have federal tax due you can pay by mailing your payment with the 1040V voucher, (which has the address printed on it, having the payment taken out of a designated bank account, or you can pay directly on the IRS website.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment. For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.

@Brittjoan99 What does it say on your tax return? If you are getting a refund it will be on line 35a. If you owe it is on line 37. It cannot be both.
