REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
H&R Block, Inc.
Kansas City, Missouri
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of H&R Block, Inc. and subsidiaries (the
“Company”) as of April 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended April 30, 2010. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These
financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of H&R Block, Inc. and subsidiaries as of April 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended April 30, 2010, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted an accounting standard
for uncertainty in income taxes on May 1, 2007.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2010, based on the criteria
established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission and our report dated June 28, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
