Yes, I saw the multiple options in the email, and they will take me a "Turbo Tax Invoice" page which allows me to pay manually.

It seems really, really odd that there's no way to get to that Invoice page from within the application.
It's good to be cautious. I don't think payment is integrated well with the direct tax application.
I have two suggestions that will be more secure than clicking a link in email.
First, log directly into your turbotax account online, and make sure you have the padlock icon in the address window that means the connection is secure. Instead of going to the tax application, look at "Intuit Account" at the bottom left and then "products and billing." I don't actually know if your invoice will be there, because I don't use the refund transfer feature myself, but if it is there, it will be secure.
Or, use this secure web site to get a phone number, and call in to make a credit card payment. Use the keyword "account billing". If you see the padlock icon on the web site, you will know the phone number is the legitimate number.
