Like clockwork, every April the IRS puts out some scary story just as those later filers and procrastinators are working on their taxes.
Do they expect us to believe they have roomfuls of agents trolling social media in the hope of finding tons of cheats?
My wife's business got audited last December (they found nothing). The agent admitted to us that the difference between her business income and our "apparent" lifestyle based on her Facebook posts is one of the things that prompted the audit. And since she has her postings set to "Private", this guy was able to go right around that with no problem.
I'd say they either have roomfuls of agents looking at things they aren't supposed to or they are offering rewards to tipsters and accessing suspect profiles through the tipster's Facebook login.
