WASHINGTON -
You have until April 15th to file a return - and the IRS will be collecting a lot more than just taxes this year.

According to several reports, the agency will also be collecting personal information from sites like Facebook and Twitter.

It says the effort is to catch people trying to beat the system, but some say it goes too far.

Attorney Kristen Mathews warns to be careful with what you say on social media platforms.

She has concerns the government is pushing the limits of what has historically been considered private.

"There are laws that regulate the government's ability to get a hold of things like credit card transaction history. But those laws have become more permissive in the last several years, particularly after 9-11, and so some might say those laws are no longer in line with the average expectation of privacy," says Mathews.

The government has said it would only check a Facebook page or twitter account if there is already red flag in a tax form.

There's also a video on the site.

Check it for what, to see that I can never count how many freakin' squares are in those dang images? Or to see that I laugh at people who comment on an image and press a number, thinking it will change the image?

ATF Plans To Track People’s Online Social Connections

April 8, 2013

The ATF doesn’t just want a huge database to reveal everything about you with a few keywords. It wants one that can find out who you know. And it won’t even try to friend you on Facebook first.

According to a recent solicitation from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the bureau is looking to buy a “massive online data repository system” for its Office of Strategic Intelligence and Information (OSII). The system is intended to operate for at least five years, and be able to process automated searches of individuals, and “find connection points between two or more individuals” by linking together “structured and unstructured data.”

Primarily, the ATF states it wants the database to speed-up criminal investigations. Instead of requiring an analyst to manually search around for your personal information, the database should “obtain exact matches from partial source data searches” such as social security numbers (or even just a fragment of one), vehicle serial codes, age range, “phonetic name spelling,” or a general area where your address is located. Input that data, and out comes your identity, while the computer automatically establishes connections you have with others."

Happens here already although it only ends up in the news when people change their relationship status for a joke and then get a letter from the council about it.

The government doesn't need your permission to see your info. The government gets what the government wants.

Sure... If you tell the IRS you are broke but are posting up you vacation house up at the lake that's another thing. However, peeps lie on Facebook about everything.

Exactly. I deal with many musicians who post all the luxury on social media networks, but they always get rides to my studio in their girlfriend's 89 Hyundai Excel. I never, ever see the Range Rover with the switches and buttons, except on the internet.

I actually could send 100+ tranny sales/day to your employer... but because you are such an asshat, I wouldn't touch it.
