Legal Question in Tax Law in Massachusetts

i had gone into a place called Instant Tax Service looking for a loan off of my taxes. i was denied and left never signing a paper. whern i went to file my income taxes at another place the irs sent my file back saying that i had already filed. so i called the other place and they said they didnt have any record of it going through. the owner called me back later telling me that a new employee did it and there was nothing he could do abouot it and that it was an honest mistake. now i have no idea where my money is. instant tax service cant even give me a print out of my return. what should i do? should i take them to court?
