fraud even identity theft should also be reported to your local police department and perhaps consult a lawyer.

you'll likely have to mail in your tax returns until you get an identity protection pin.

@bigbear This is the user forum where we answer questions about income tax return and the tax software.  We have nothing to do with credit or debit cards.   If you have a problem regarding a credit or debit card, you need to contact the financial institution that issued the card to you.  There should be a an 800 number on the back of the card.

No one in this user forum has a way to help with your credit card.  We can help with suggestions if you suspect tax-related fraud or identity theft.

Most important) Follow the IRS procedures for reporting a fraudulent return, documented here: www.irs.gov/uac/Taxpayer-Guide-to-Identity-Theft

@bigbear contact the debit card company to report the fraud. maybe they'll reimburse you.

do this promptly because many have a time limit for reporting. wait too long and you're out of luck.

most likely as a minimum they'll require you to file a police report.  

if not and this is personal and you don't get reimbursed, sorry but you are not entitled to any federal tax deduction.

id theft get an ID pin from the IRS but this is only for income tax purposes.

if you have other financial accounts, contact the institution because they may want to issue new cards, or account numbers. at the very least, change your user ID and password on their websites.
