Can a bank just take money out of your account without giving you documentation before they do it? An income tax return check came to my account in a large sum of $8000.

Its hard to respond accurately to your question without knowing for what purpose the funds were supposedly removed from your account. You're entitled to an explanation.

If you don't get an answer, contact the bank's customer assistance center or central administration. It is simply not acceptable that your account would be charged without providing you with an explanation.
