Re: IRS checking out your Facebook and twitter... No big deal; this is the free market of privacy settings operating exactly as it should.
This is public information, and the IRS specifically prohibits agents from friending a taxpayer in order to gather more information. |

| said by Steve:This is public information... Yup. If you tell everyone, everywhere, your personal info (via words, pictures or whatever) it is "public". Anyone can then use that data against you.
In short if you post or transmit images of some item (house, car, boat etc) and the IRS thinks that's beyond your income level they can come after you. After all you made it public knowledge.

The IRS has certainly given much more thought to this than I ever would have. |
