Dear Ms***,
This is in response to your complaint filed against Santa
Barbara Tax Products Group (TPG) through the Revdex.com on February
15,
In your complaint, you stated that your refund was rejected
and you needed to send in your identification to verify your account
Unfortunately, after contacting TPG’s customer service a number of times, you
were given different time spans for when your account would be released from
the holdYou also expressed how some Customer Service agents were rude towards
you
Upon review of your record, a Refund Transfer (RT) was
chosen when your taxes were prepared through Turbo Tax. On February 9, the IRS funded your
federal return; fees were deducted to pay your Turbo Tax user fees of $
and an additional Bank processing fee of $for the RTPlease review the
fee disclosure in your online agreement, a sample copy has been attachedThe
balance was deposited to the account instructed on the *** *** Refund
Processing Agreement. *** rejected
the funds and declared the account an R04/ “Invalid Account Number”. You may contact your bank and provide them
with trace number: *** for further details regarding the rejection
of funds.
If a taxpayer enters a bank account that will not accept the
refund, the transaction is rejected by the receiving bankOften times this
occurs because the taxpayer has entered the wrong account information or the
account is closedIn these cases, the receiving bank “rejects” the
transaction, and returns the funds to the sender, in this case, TPGWhen the
rejected refund was returned, TPG has the opportunity to deliver the refund to
the customer using an alternative delivery method.
On February 18, 2016, TPG released the hold on your account
Please allow hours for the check to process.
Once the check is issued, it may take up to days to be received at
your address on record
On behalf of TPG, I would like to formally apologize for the
poor customer service experience you had when inquiring about your refund
Customer courtesy is an extreme priority for us and in this case, we failed
youAll of the agents involved have been reminded of their obligation to
always process customer inquiries in a respectful manner
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to
contact me at ***, Monday through Friday, 7am to 4pm

This
email is in response to the complaint filed against Santa Barbara Tax Products

your tax refund, in effect, has been stolen. Be assured that the *** has
a process available to provide restitution for taxpayers who have had their
identity compromised and their refund stolen. We will help you as a
victim get restitution from the ***. Unfortunately this process will take
some time and restitution won’t be immediate. We will supply some forms
and information to help you initiate the process. Additionally, you
should take measures to enhance the security of your confidential personal
information in all areas. We have performed analytics and are confident
that this breach did not occur at *** or your online tax provider and
unfortunately it is likely that the breach occurred through one of the large
national data breaches that has been publicized in the past 12months or through
a phishing scheme directed to one of your personal devices
We
are working with you to help you resolve this issue in a more timely
manner. *** *** with our office has
contacted you with a suggestion that we believe will resolve your issue
completely. If you are not satisfied

requested TPG return the funds to the IRS initially, and then later decided to
validate your identity through our website so that we could disburse the funds
directly to you

Bank rejected the funds and declared the account an R“Invalid Account

RE: Case ***
July 21,
Dear ***
***,
This
is in response to the complaint filed against Santa Barbara Tax Products Group
(TPG) to the
Revdex.com on July 18, regarding identity
theft.
Please allow me to
discuss who we are and what products we offer to taxpayers in order for you to
gain a better understanding of our role in processing your tax return
refund. *** ***, N.A(Bank)
offers tax related financial products through a network of tax preparation
franchises, independent tax professionals and online tax preparation
providers. Santa Barbara Tax Products
Group is a third part processor for the Bank and is providing a response on
behalf of its partner *** ***, N.A.
*** *** N.Aprovides a product known as the Refund Transfer
(RT). The RT provides the taxpayer a
method of having their tax preparation fees deducted from their tax refund
without paying any out-of-pocket costs.
When the taxpayer prepares their taxes through *** ***, they can
choose to deduct their fess from their refund.
When the taxpayer selects our bank product, they direct the IRS to
deposit their tax refund into a temporary account at the Bank. When the Bank receives the IRS refund
(usually less than days from the filing date), the Bank makes deductions
from the refund to pay the software user fees and deposit product fee. The balance of the refund is then disbursed
to the taxpayer by way of deposit to an account designated by the taxpayer
(either a personal bank account or prepaid card). TPG is simply a third party processor which
serves as an intermediary between the IRS and the taxpayer and has no direct
access to the tax preparation event or the transmittal of the return to the
IRS
The return was
acknowledged and verified by the IRS, TPG has no reason to question the information
providedWe had to assume that the application sent to us was sent by the
taxpayer and that the sensitive personal and confidential information provided
therein was your account information
From
your inquiry, it appears that you may be a victim of identity theftIt is
recommended you take immediate steps to protect your personal information
File a report with the local police.File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission or the FTC
Identity Theft Hotline at 1-877-438-or TTY 1-866-653-4261.Contact one of the three major credit bureaus to place a ‘fraud
alert’ on your credit records: Equifax, 1-800-525-6285Experian, 1-888-397-3742TransUnion, 1-800-680-7289Close any accounts opened without your permission or tampered
with. It is also recommended you
take these additional steps:
Respond immediately to any IRS notice; call the number provided.Complete IRS Form 14039, Identity Theft AffidavitUse a fill-able
form at IRS.gov, print, then mail or fax according to their instructionsFor your convenience, I have also
included a copy of this form.Continue to pay your taxes and file your tax return, even if you
must do so by paper.As a courtesy, the legal processing
fee of $25, and the bank fee will be remitted back to the IRS for
processingThis may take several days to several weeks and is dependent on IRS
processing timesPlease feel free to contact me at
877-908-7228, Monday through Friday am to pm, for further details relating
to the refund and return transactionPlease feel free to contact

Dear Ms***,
This is in response to your complaint filed
against Santa Barbara Tax Products Group (TPG) through the RevDex.com on February 12,
In your complaint, you stated that were not
satisfied with the amount you received with your refundYou expected to be
refunded more than what was given to you
For purposes unknown to TPG, the Financial Management Service (FMS) intercepted your refund before it was received at
TPG. FMS offsets taxpayers’ refunds
through the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) to pay off past-due child support,
federal agency non-tax debts such as student loans and state income tax
obligationsOffsets to non-tax debts occur after the IRS has certified the
refunds to FMS for payment but before FMS makes the Direct Deposits or issues
the paper checksRefund offsets reduce the amount of the expected Direct
Deposit or paper check but they do not delay the issuance of the remaining
refund (if any) after offsetIf taxpayers owe non-tax debts they may contact
the agency they owe, prior to filing their returns, to determine if the agency
submitted their debts for refund offsetFMS sends taxpayers offset notices if
it applies any part of their refund to non-tax debtsTaxpayers should contact
the agencies identified in the FMS offset notice when offsets occur if they
dispute the non-tax debts or have questions about the offsetsIf taxpayers
need further clarification, they may call the Treasury Offset Program Call
Center at *** ***
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel
free to contact me at ***, Monday through Friday, 7am to 4pm
