Caveats
- State government tax collections only, in current dollars (thousands); local property and local-option sales taxes are excluded.
- Fiscal year windows differ by state: most end June 30, but Alabama and Michigan end September 30, New York ends March 31, and Texas ends August 31.
- This dataset starts at fiscal year 2005, when the Census Bureau redefined its state government finance classification; earlier years use a different, non-comparable classification.
- T14 (Pari-mutuels Sales Tax) was folded into T18 (Sports Betting Sales Tax) beginning fiscal year 2023.
- The tax-type breakdown uses the source's detail categories only, not its subtotal categories; the published total is not a sum of these categories, and a suppressed cell is omitted, never recorded as zero.
