Idaho’s general fund tax revenues came in higher than expected in all categories in November, running 3.7 percent ahead of forecasts and 4.4 percent higher than the same month a year earlier. That puts year-to-date state tax collections 0.5 percent ahead of projections, and 5 percent higher than the previous year.

Meanwhile, the Legislature’s General Fund Budget Monitor reports that the latest revenues mean an even bigger state surplus: After accounting for the statutory distribution to the Budget Stabilization Fund of $8.5 million and assuming lawmakers fund all supplemental appropriation requests from state agencies, the new estimated ending balance for the fiscal year comes to $113.9 million, which is $102.3 million more than was anticipated when lawmakers adjourned their last session last spring.
