    Post-Incident Runbook: FCRA 605B IdentityTheft.gov Freezes IRS 14039
    Jul 10 2026
    In this episode of Identity Theft Recovery, we outline the precise post-incident runbook victims should follow after identity theft strikes. Starting with an official report at IdentityTheft.gov creates a foundational record and personalized recovery plan that supports every subsequent action. Next, credit freezes at Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion halt new fraudulent accounts. FCRA 605B blocks then target and remove specific errors from existing reports through formal disputes to the bureaus. Finally, IRS Form 14039 combined with an IP PIN addresses tax-related misuse by marking accounts and adding verification layers for future filings. These steps interconnect, with each document referencing the prior one to close gaps efficiently when completed in sequence.

    Key takeaways:
    - File IdentityTheft.gov report first for the official FTC record
    - Place freezes at all three credit bureaus to stop new accounts
    - Submit FCRA 605B block letters to remove fraudulent items
    - Use IRS Form 14039 and request an IP PIN for tax protection
