Is there a way to apply this years return can be applied to past taxes due? Or will the IRS atomatticaly do that?

If you owe the IRS for past taxes, your 2018 refund will be offset to pay the tax you still owe. You do not have to enter anything on your tax return about it. The IRS knows, and will take care of it automatically. They will send you a letter afterward.
