Rapid Tax.com's mission statement says it all: "Our goal is to assist our customers with the highest standard of professional excellence in the tax industry." Some of the other things Rip-off Report learned in the course of its investigation: typical customer feedback reads: RapidTax.com (and Dr. Veldhuyzen) truly operate their business in the most ethical manner.

Suggestions for improvements to the site and the company at large are encouraged and supported.

Rapidtax.com - SBBT Filed with Rapidtax.com 01/12/08 and approved by the IRS 01/25/08, have not gotten my Federal rufund. Solana Beach California
Please Help! My story bagan on January 12, 2008 filing my taxes through Rapidtax.com...I went with them based on their ad saying I could get my refund back within one-two buisness days...SBBT (Santa Barbara Bank & Trust) sent me a letter of rejecting me for the RAL...etc...The IRS accepted and direct deposited my Federal Refund into SBBT account on January 25th. 2008. Taxpayer Status Report from SBBT says they deducted: Tax Payer fees: $109.96, Transmitter fee: $10.00, SBBT Account Handling Fee:$30.95, Total Refund Deductions: $150.91; and mailed out to me a check for the remainder on January 24th.(?) I called the next day to make sure they had filed my State because I did not see where Rapidtax.com had, They had not did so, but without me giving anymore of my personal information, the State was direct deposit into my checking account the next day (14th.), Not my Federal. I called to find out what happen with my Federal Refund... I have been bounced back and forward between the IRS, SBBT, and Rapidtax.com.
I was told by the IRS on the 14th. I had to wait till the 30th. And check back with them. This I did and found out they direct deposited the money into SBBT account. So I calls SBBT to ask them...they had me to give them all of my info again and said because of my apt. number was not on their info I had to wait 8-12 bisiness days to see if the check return to them... meanwhile on the 2/4/08 they had me to fax in my personal information with my apt. number to:1-(858)-430-2796 to Personal Account Change. When I checked back the next day they said they did not have my information and told me I had to redo it and wait another 24-48 hours, (I did not re-send).
SBBT does have my Federal refund check, they told me on the 4th. or 5th. that it was returned to them. The SBBT rep. said yesterday when I spoke with her, first told me they had mailed the check out to me February 4th.08 as they said in January! When I reminded her of all the stuff they have already had me doing...this is when she repeated that I need to fax them my social security card, my State ID, a bill with my address on it, and a blank cancelled check with my checking account again to Personal Account Change. When I ask her why I need to do this again, she got really nasty with me. With all the identity thief going on they ask me to do this(?) (I should not have done anyway). I did not have to do this for them to direct deposited my State in my checking account. Rapidtax.com will not even respond to anymore of my e-mails, Keep referring me to the status page and they do not reply to that. Everytime I call SBBT, they continual to give me different answers and reasons...And none of them tells me when I will get my check. I have look up their reputation on-line and pulled up a page of big rip off reports on them. My thing is if this amount of rip off reports is all over the internet, why does the IRS continual letting them stay in business?
Will you please help me to get my Federal Refund from Rapidtax.com/SBBT and file a class action law suit against them?

Dear Elshalom1. Our company wanted to respond to your comments, and we sincerely sympathize with your situation. SBBT bank attempted to deposit your refund to your account on January 24. Unfortunately, the direct deposit didn't go through and SBBT sent us a check print authorization. We immediately mailed your check to your address on January 24th by USPS certified mail (Tracking Number: 7007 0710 0005 6827 1258). Unfortunately, USPS sent the check back to us. We re-verified your address with you, and noted that it was sent to the correct address the first time. We re-sent your check on February 11, and you finally received the check on February 15 (Tracking Number: 7007 3020 0001 8158 2217). We try to accomodate to every customer's need, and this situation was not really our fault. 1.) SBBT denied your loan. 2.) Check print authorization was sent to us by SBBT bank. 3.) The postman didn't get the check to you the first time. Despite the fact that it was not really our fault, we issued you a full refund of our fees and ate the cost for the certified mail delivery (twice). We do acknowledge that we filed your state return a little late and we're sorry for that. We are re-structuring our system so that state returns will be more timely filed. We are sorry that your experience was not up to your expectation. We hope that you can appreciate that we did whatever we could, and circumstances that were beyond our control resulted in an unfortunate situation. Best Regards, Bill, General Manager, Rapid Tax & Financial Services
