You can also use I-CAN! E-File www.icanefile.org for free to complete both your federal and state tax return for FREE. You can also e-file for free and there is no income limit.

Plus I do alot of other people's taxes.

You can use I-CAN!® E-file to file your Federal and state return if you lived and worked all year in one of the following states: California, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania or Montana. If you lived and worked all year in Alaska, I-CAN!® E-file will add your Permanent Fund Dividend on your federal return.

Does this mean if we don't live in one of these states we can't use this program? :(

you probably can file your federal, but not your state. Check your state website, I know Pennsylvania has a free file, i'm sure other states do also.
