Explanation:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the primary agency in the United States that deals with identity theft. It has resources and procedures in place to help victims report and start the recovery process. Credit counseling services may assist later in rebuilding credit, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) deals with tax - related identity theft (but not the first - step for all identity theft cases), and the Federal Reserve System is mainly about monetary policy and banking system oversight.
