Outlets disagree on this: The existing cluster states 6 million Americans received an average of $7,100 through no-tax-on-tips and 25 million taxpayers got refunds averaging $3,100 for overtime. finance.yahoo.com (citing Treasury) corroborates these figures but adds 30 million seniors claiming an average deduction of over $7,500, which differs from the existing cluster's claim of 30 million seniors receiving an average of $7,500 — consistent in magnitude but the existing cluster attributes this to 'enhanced Social Security deductions' while the Treasury source says it is the 'new enhanced deduction,' a potentially different characterization.
