This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to Form S-8 Registration Statement No. 333-42143 (the “Registration Statement”), which registered an aggregate amount of 300,000 shares of Common Stock, without par value (“Common Stock”), of H&R Block, Inc.

Under the Registration Statement, 300,000 shares of Common Stock were registered under the H&R Block Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Plan”). The shares of Common Stock available under the Plan were increased from 300,000 to 600,000 upon a 2-for-1 stock split effected on August 1, 2001.

The Plan was terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors on September 3, 2008.  This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to deregister all of the previously registered shares of Common Stock of the Company reserved for issuance under the Plan that have not been sold or otherwise issued under the Registration Statement or subject to outstanding option awards as of the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment.
