Identity theft, in general, can be reported to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) via forms on the FTC website or by phone. When you choose to report the identity theft to the FTC online at IdentityTheft.gov, you will be able to obtain an official identity theft report as well as a recommended recovery plan. If you decide to report your identity theft case by calling the FTC at 1-877-438-4338, the FTC staff will be able to obtain the details of your case, but will not be able to provide you with an identity theft report or any recovery options/plans. You can also report identity theft to your local police station. Once you report the theft to the police, the case will become officially open for investigation and further law enforcement involvement. Other places you can report identity theft include credit bureaus, financial organizations, retail companies, identity protection companies, etc. Victims of medical identity theft should report their situation to their health insurance company or Medicare. Tax identity theft victims should report their theft to the IRS as well as their state's department of taxation.
