Revenues were $69 billion higher and outlays were $208 billion higher than during first nine months of 2018. Budget Totals, October-June Billions of Dollars Actual, FY 2018 Preliminary FY 2019 Estimated Change Receipts 2.541 2.609 69 Outlays 3.148 3.356 208 Deficit (-) -607 -746 -139 Sources: Congressional Budget Office; Department of the Treasury. Based on the Monthly Treasury Statement for May 2019 and the Daily Treasury Statements for June 2019. FY = fiscal year. Total Receipts: Up by 3 Percent in the First Nine Months of Fiscal Year 2019 Receipts totaled $2,609 billion during the first nine months of fiscal year 2019, CBO estimates- $69 billion (or 3 percent) more than during the same period last year. That increase was the result of changes in receipts from the following sources: m Individual income and payroll (social insurance) taxes together rose by $60 billion (or 3 percent). o Amounts withheld from workers' paychecks rose by $37 billion (or 2 percent). That change largely reflects increases in wages and salaries that were partly offset by a decline in the share of income withheld for taxes. The Internal Revenue Service issued new withholding tables in January 2018 to reflect changes made by the 2017 tax act (Public Law 115-97). All employers were required to begin using the new tables by February 15, 2018. Those new withholding rates were in effect during the first nine months of this fiscal year but for only four and a half months of the same period last year. o Nonwithheld payments of income and payroll taxes rose by $7 billion (or 1 percent). o Income tax refunds were down by $20 billion (or 8 percent), further boosting net receipts. o Unemployment insurance receipts (one kind of payroll tax) declined by $4 billion (or 10 percent). Note: The amounts shown in this report include the surplus or deficit in the Social Security trust funds and the net cash flow of the Postal Service, which are off-budget. Numbers may not sum to totals because of rounding.
