Additional Revenue when the "Bush Tax Cuts" expire

I think I have the worst search ability of any person who uses the Internet. For the life of me I can not find the answer to this simple question. How much additional annual revenue will the Federal Government take in as a result of the expiration of the Bush Tax Cuts, beginning at the end of the year? Have any of you all seen any rational estimates?

It was mentioned on UP with Chris Hayes, but I don't remember what time frame they were talking about.
