According to reports, she told officers Tuesday that the person who prepared her taxes took her refund check and deposited it in a Florida bank account. The woman gave the tax preparer the opportunity to fix the problem, but he refused.
Police say they told the woman to contact the IRS.
Wouldn't it be about the same as someone stealing a refund check from a mailbox? Really? The IRS? Do they know how long that will take? Meanwhile, the preparer can do this to others. This sounds odd to me. I need some enlightenment to understand how a "known" person could get away with something like this.
