Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed in Item 1.01 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2005, H&R Block, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a settlement agreement regarding litigation entitled Lynne A. Carnegie, et al. v. Household International, Inc., H&R Block, Inc., et al., (the "Carnegie Settlement Agreement"). The information set forth under Item 1.01 of such report is incorporated herein by reference.

On May 26, 2005, the United States District Judge for the Northern District of Illinois issued a decision denying the plaintiff's motion for preliminary approval of the proposed settlement. As a result, the Carnegie Settlement Agreement was terminated in accordance with its terms and the parties to the litigation will be returned to their status immediately prior to the execution of the Carnegie Settlement Agreement as if the agreement had never been made.
