Due to the COVID pandemic, the 2020 income tax filing deadlines in April and June were moved to July 15, 2020. Therefore, the comparison of FY21 to FY22 will be negatively impacted throughout FY22. 

The amount reflected as the total for Sales and Use Tax was inflated by dollars that should have been allocated to other funds. The Department is in the process of reallocating those amounts back to the applicable funds. This reallocation will be addressed in the January monthly report.

The figures included in the monthly general revenue report represent a snapshot in time and can vary widely based on a multitude of factors.
