"The IRS plans to use interviews, open-source searches, electronic surveillance, social media searches, and Grand Jury subpoenas given to a variety of companies.
You would think that these subpoenas would be served to crypto exchanges, but the IRS plans on serving them to Apple, Google, and Microsoft in order to search through taxpayers' download history to see if they have ever downloaded cryptocurrency applications.

The IRS also plans to review Facebook, Twitter, AutoAdmit.com, and other social media platforms to find publicly available BTC and ETH addresses.
