“On its own, fiscal 2021 is not an accurate harbinger of future revenue collections because receipts were inflated by one-time and temporary factors. Beyond the shift in the income tax filing deadline, two other major factors contributed to a temporary high during last budget year: unprecedented amounts of federal aid to individuals and businesses in the form of stimulus checks, supplemental unemployment benefits, expanded child tax credits, and forgivable business loans, plus a shift in personal spending from often-untaxed services to purchases of goods, which are taxable in most states. Although states project overall growth to continue, forecasters expect gains to become more moderate as these key factors have either ended or are diminishing.”
