REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Participants and Administrative Committee of
the H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan
Kansas City, Missouri
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of the Plan as of December 31, 2006 were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 27, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and includes an explanatory paragraph relating to the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2007, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules listed in the table of contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan’s management.  Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2007 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the Year Ended December 31, 2007
1.   Description of the Plan
 
    The following description of the H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
 
    General
 
    The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by HRB Management, Inc., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of H&R Block, Inc. (the “Company”) for its employees and the employees of certain of its affiliates. The Plan became effective on January 1, 1985 and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
 
    The Plan provides for selection of an administrative committee, a plan administrator and a trustee by the Board of Directors of the Company. The administrative committee is responsible for the general administration of the Plan and the interpretation of its provisions. The plan administrator is responsible for the reporting and disclosure requirements under ERISA. Fidelity Management Trust Company (“Fidelity”) is the Plan’s recordkeeper and trustee.
 
    Eligibility
 
    The timing of an employee’s eligibility for participation in the Plan depends on whether the employee is classified as a nonseasonal employee or seasonal employee. With respect to participant contributions and employer matching contributions: (a) nonseasonal employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan beginning the first day of the month following or coinciding with the date they complete 90 “Days of Service,” as such term is defined in the Plan, and (b) seasonal employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan beginning with the first participation date (January 1 or July 1) following or coinciding with the date they complete a “Year of Service,” as such term is defined in the Plan. With respect to employer profit sharing contributions, both nonseasonal and seasonal employees are eligible to participate beginning the first day of the Plan year that immediately precedes or is coincident with the date the employee completes a “Year of Service.”
 
    Contributions
 
    Participants may make pre-tax contributions from two to fifty percent of their compensation, subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Participants age 50 and over may make pre-tax contributions from zero to one-hundred percent of their compensation, subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. The Company may make discretionary matching contributions of up to one hundred percent of a participant’s contributions, not to exceed five percent of the participant’s compensation. All participant and matching contributions are invested at the participant’s direction. The Company may also elect to make discretionary profit sharing contributions, which would be allocated among participant accounts based on the participant’s eligible compensation. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company contributed $30,565,842 for the matching contribution. No

as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the Year Ended December 31, 2007
    discretionary profit sharing contributions were made during the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
    Vesting
 
    Participant and employer matching contributions, and earnings thereon, are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
 
    Participant Accounts
 
    Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s matching contribution, and allocations of Company discretionary contributions, and Plan earnings, and charged with withdrawals and an allocation of Plan losses and administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
 
    Investments
 
    Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers mutual funds, Company common stock, a self-directed brokerage account, and a common collective trust as investment options for participants. Participants have purchased shares of mutual funds and money market funds through the brokerage account.
 
    Participant Loans
 
    Participant loans must be at least $1,000 and are limited to the lesser of $50,000 less the highest outstanding loan balance in the previous 12 months or fifty percent of the participant’s vested account balance. Interest is prime plus one percent. Interest rates on participant loans range from 4.0% to 10.5%. Loans are payable over one to five years except for loans for the purchase of a residence, which may be longer.
 
    Payment of Benefits
 
    Generally, distributions may not be made to a participant, or in the case of death, a participant’s beneficiary, until administratively feasible following the earliest of the participant’s death, disability, retirement or severance from employment. Distributions are in the form of a lump sum cash payment, unless the participant elects to defer payment.
 
    Termination
 
    Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it has the right to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions set forth in the Plan and under ERISA.

H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the Year Ended December 31, 2007
    Forfeited Accounts
 
    At December 31, 2007 and 2006, forfeited accounts totaled $94,655 and $29,175, respectively. These accounts may be used to pay Plan expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2007, $27,898 was used to pay Plan expenses.
 
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Basis of Accounting
 
    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions to and deductions from net assets available for benefits during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    Risks and Uncertainties
 
    The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the financial statements.
 
    Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
 
    H&R Block, Inc. Common Stock fund is based on estimated fair value as determined by the trustee based on the fair market value of the underlying investments within the fund. Mutual funds, including those in self-directed brokerage accounts, are stated at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. The common collective trust is stated at estimated fair value as determined by the issuer of the common collective trust based on the fair market value of the underlying investments. Common collective trusts with underlying investments in benefit-responsive investment contracts are valued at the fair value of the underlying investments and then adjusted by the issuer to contract value. Participant loans are valued at the outstanding loan balances.
 
    The SEI Stable Asset Fund (the “Trust) is a stable value fund formed to provide for the collective investment of assets of participating tax qualified pension and profit sharing plans and related trusts and governmental plans (or the assets of a governmental unit used to satisfy its obligations under a governmental plan) in guaranteed investment contracts and readily marketable assets in accordance with the investing criteria established by the Declaration of Trust. The Trust primarily invests in a variety of investment contracts such as guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions and other

H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the Year Ended December 31, 2007
    investment products (separate account contracts, synthetic GICs and collective investment trusts) with similar characteristics. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made to the fund, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals.
 
    Individual participant accounts for the H&R Block, Inc. common stock unitized fund, which is made up of Company common stock and a money market fund, and the SEI Stable Asset Fund are maintained on a unit value basis. Participants do not have beneficial ownership in the specific underlying securities or other assets in the funds, but do have an interest therein represented by units valued daily. The funds earn dividends and interest which are automatically reinvested in additional units. Generally, contributions to and withdrawal payments from each fund are converted to units by dividing the amounts of such transactions by the unit values as last determined, and the participants’ accounts are charged or credited with the number of units properly attributable to each participant.
 
    In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP No. 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the “FSP”), the statements of net assets available for benefits present an investment contract at fair value, as well as an additional line item showing an adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive contract from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefit is presented on a contract value basis and is not affected by the FSP. Fair value of the contract is calculated by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations.
 
    The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments. Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
    Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for the Plan’s investments are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.
 
    New Accounting Pronouncement

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157), Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 established a single authorative definition of fair value, sets a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurement. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November

H&R Block Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the Year Ended December 31, 2007
    17, 2007. Plan management has not completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting SFAS No. 157. Plan management is therefore unable to disclose the impact that adopting SFAS No. 157 will have on its net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits for defined contribution plans when such statement is adopted.
 
    Administrative Expenses
 
    All administrative expenses incurred by the Plan are paid by the Plan, except to the extent paid by the Company. To the extent forfeitures are not used to pay administrative expenses of the Plan, such expenses are covered using participant account balances.
 
    Payment of Benefits
 
    Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. Amounts allocated to accounts of persons who have elected to withdraw from the Plan but have not yet been paid were $835,761 at December 31, 2007. There were no benefits payable at December 31, 2006.
 
3.   Investments
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Plan’s investments (including gains and losses on investments bought, sold, and held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as follows:
         
H&R Block, Inc. common stock fund
  $ (2,994,041 )
Self-directed brokerage accounts
    489,516  
Mutual funds
    (4,340,947 )
 
     
 
  $ (6,845,472 )
 
     
    The H&R Block, Inc. Common stock fund uses “unit” accounting. As a unitized stock fund, the Common stock Fund holds primarily H&R Block, Inc. common stock and a small percentage of cash and short-term investments, while participants hold units of the fund.
 
    The Plan’s investments that represented five percent or more of the Plan’s net assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and for the Year Ended December 31, 2007
4.   Income Tax Status of the Plan
 
    The Plan received its latest determination letter dated July 30, 2007 in which the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) stated the Plan is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the internal revenue code. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and the Plan and related trust continue to be tax-exempt. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
 
5.   Exempt Party-in-Interest Transactions
 
    Certain plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Fidelity. Fidelity is the recordkeeper and custodian as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. In addition, the H&R Block, Inc. common stock fund includes an investment in the common stock of H&R Block, Inc., and therefore, these transactions also qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions.
 
6.   Nonexempt Party-in-Interest Transactions
 
    H&R Block, Inc. remitted January 30, 2007 and February 27, 2007 contributions of $6 and $313, respectively, to the trustee on February 26, 2007 and March 27, 2007, respectively, which was later than required by Department of Labor (“DOL”) Regulation 2510.3-102. The Company will file Form 5330 with the IRS and will pay the applicable excise tax on the transaction. In addition, participant accounts will be credited with the amount of the investment income that would have been earned had the participant contribution been remitted on a timely basis.
 
7.   Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500
 
    The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits per the financial statements to the Form 5500 as of December 31, 2007 and 2006:
