H&R Block Student Tax Return a Rip Off?

Tax time again... Just wondering if anyone has ever used H&R Block tax services to complete a student tax return.

I have had two internships and completed 4 months of school, so I am hoping to get back a pretty big chunk. The website claims it only charges a flat rate of $30 which is cheaper than going through my parents accountant. I could do them myself (there are no complicated items, just basic income tax and tuition expenses) but I think the software is more expensive.

Any thoughts? Are there hidden costs in the H&R Block return?

 

Do they do it for you or is that what they charge on top of filing fees just to use the service? I use turbotax and do it myself (even with a lot of itemized stuff) - pretty happy with it.
