Republic Bank &Trust Charged for fees from my IRS refund I never authorized Internet, Kentucky

I have owned Advanced Tax, a tax preparation and electronic filer for 24 years.  I have worked with Republic Band for the past 4 years and they have provided RALs and Refund Transfers for us so I am very familiar with how they and the IRS Efile work. It is obvious to me that you have complaints against two separate businesses. Taxnet Financial and Republic Bank.  If your preparer made errors on your return which reduced your refund, Republic Bank would have had nothing to do with that aspect which resulted in a lower refund.  If Taxnet  Financial did not explain  the process, and did not give you   copies of your tax return and bank documents they obviously violated rules put forth by the IRS and Republic Bank.  As far as Republic Bank not direct depositing your refund to your bank, again it sounds life the preparer may have caused that mistake as well.  You can obtain a copy of your return from the IRS and I would strongly advise you to do that.  Pay close attention to the refund amount that the IRS has in their records for that tax return as well as the dependents claimed on the return.  The fees that Taxnet charged are typical for tax returns claiming a child or children and getting the EIC.  You need to find out how and why one of the children was left off of your return.  Was the child already claimed on another return? or did Taxnet simply leave the child off of your return.  If not already claimed and left off of your return, find out how to do an amended return and claim the $1000 or so that you did not get.
