No matter what your income for 2008, you can file your taxes for free online. If you make less than $56,000, read the section about Free File, which walks you through each step of the process.
If you make more than $56,000, you want Free File Fillable Forms, which are designed for people who have completed their taxes before and basically know what they are doing.
Here are links to both free e-file programs.

You can also e-file your California tax return with some caveats, go directly to this site and follow the instructions.

I was told by Turbo Tax that I could not file electronuically. Should I trust you or them?

Trust the IRS! They were the ones that told me about Free File (for under $56,000) and Free File Fillable Forms (for more than $56,000).
