So....if filing more than 5 due to multiple family members, you make sure you e-file your own, well before the 5 limit is reached....then file the extra simplest ones (children's) by mail once the 5 limit is reached.
Be forewarned though, if you e-file any one with an erroneous SSN for one of the people in it, and it is rejected...then you correct it to re-efile, in the past, that erroneous-rejected e-file gets counted against one of your 5, and the corrected e-file counts separately as another, so make absolutely sure your own gets in before, say, #3.
And you are not allowed to file taxes for others for pay ...only for yourself and your own family members
