Why won't turbotax allow me to pay my taxes to IRS electronically?

Why must I pay by check?

 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.

Why doesn't TT give me an electronic option?

You have that option---go to the IRS site.    Or indicate a bank account and routing number for the IRS to debit your account when they process your return.

Am I wrong in recalling that in prior years TT had provided thru the software an electronic ability to pay with routing and acct number? I see the option for electronic payment on the IRS website. Just trying to avoid the extra steps
