	USATODAY.com - Spitzer accuses H& R Block of defrauding investors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Four years ago, HandR Block (HRB), facing criticism from consumer groups over some of its practices, launched a program called the Express IRA that it said would encourage low-income people to save for retirement.
		In a statement, Block also said its fees are "repeatedly and accurately disclosed." The information is disclosed when the IRA is discussed with a Block tax preparer, on the account application form and in the "new client welcome package," Block said.
		Block said it has eliminated the "re-contribution fee" and said clients don't pay the annual maintenance fee the first year.

	NEW EVIDENCE SURFACES IN H&R BLOCK CASE
		The complaint cited e-mails in which HandR Block’s own employees characterized the company’s Express IRA as a bad investment that they could not in good conscience recommend to clients.
		HandR Block introduced the Express IRA in 2002, claiming that it "paid great rates" and was "a better way to save," but the product paid less than one percent interest at times, and 85 percent of those who enrolled paid more in fees than they earned in interest.
		The lawsuit specifically alleges that HandR Block failed to adequately disclose its fees to customers, failed to warn them that the interest paid would not cover the fees in certain circumstances, and misleadingly described interest rates as "great" when they were actually low.

	Lending Isn't Helping at H&R Block [Fool.com] December 01, 2006
		Bottom-line results are usually negative during HandR Block's first two fiscal quarters of the year, but the second-quarter loss in earnings, which were reported last night after the market closed, nearly doubled as the mortgage business slipped into the red after a profit in last year's quarter.
		When the company's mortgage unit issues subside, investors hope that HandR Block will be able to revitalize flagging tax-preparation growth that forms the bulk of total revenue and throws off prodigious amounts of cash flow.
		Yes, the company has been a value trap for more than four years now, but perhaps the decision to consider divesting the mortgage business is the catalyst it needs to get growth moving in the right direction again.

		Block, says Intuit, gave new numbers to the court four days after it swore it had filed 26 million returns last year, but asked the court to keep those new figures secret.
