Thanks I found that later.  I was stuck at the page where I was paying the TurboTax fee, and thought I was paying for my tax due as well.  That page was not very clear, and the Terms and Conditions were grayed out.  I wish there was a way to tell Turbotax how to improve their product.

 

Apparently you can not pay the TurboTax fee with from a checking account, but you can pay the tax due from a checking account. (Hopefully)

In the TT program FILE tab the option to direct DEBIT should be there for the federal balance due however some states may not allow it.

Review the screen below ... the 3 steps are clearly defined as to what happens and when ...

 

Step 1 of the FILE tab is for payment of the TT program only   then the   paying of  a fed/state balance due  happens in Step 2.
