More recent figures can be found <a href="http://www.taxpolicycenter.org/taxfacts/displayafact.cfm?Docid=200" rel="nofollow"> here </a>.<br /><br />The more recent estimate for 2011 receipts is $2.173 trillion considerably less than $2.685 trillion. <br /><br />I am not sure what is the source of the discrepancy, perhaps the extension of the Bush tax cuts in late 2010. These sorts of estimates are sometimes based on current law even when the law is likely to be changed so have to be treated with caution.James B.
