It's a lot less robust than I would have liked. It really seems more to me that since the top 1% are not salary, their taxes are using more complex calculations on Schedules C, D, and E, that differences in opinion on taxes owed exist more frequently - which should be expected.
The original source also notes: "Higher income individuals have larger amounts that are
misreported, but they are small compared to their overall
income. This results in small but statistically significant reductions in the Gini coefficient"
...of course, the headline has already been let loose on social media, so the truth behind whether it's even true that 1% are tax dodging or not is more or less irrelevant.
