I paid my taxes for 2019 but I used the wrong coupon my payment ended up going to Estimated Taxes for 2020. How do I get my payment to apply to 2019 Taxes?

The coupons wew added to my online statement I thought it was an automatic payment plan provided.

I don't know if you can.  Ask the IRS.  You might still have to pay the tax due and wait to get credit for the payments on next year's return.
