Source: General Fund Revenue Book. Fiscal years 2001 to 2025.

Data table (3 rows)
| Source | fiscal year 2025 (usd) |
|---|---|
| Individual Income Tax | $2,418,854,774 |
| Sales Tax | $1,749,382,582 |
| Corporate Income Tax | $890,613,535 |
- The revenue-by-source breakdown covers only Individual Income Tax, Corporate Income Tax and Sales Tax, about 95 percent of General Fund revenue; Product taxes, Licenses/fees and Miscellaneous revenue are excluded.
- The Revenue Book added an AGF (Accrued to General Fund) column beside GF starting with the January 2026 edition; this dataset continues to use GF, unchanged in definition.
- The General Fund total is the Revenue Report's fiscal-year-to-date revised total, not the Revenue Book's Total History table; the two disagree for the fiscal year they share through a revenue-recognition timing difference.
General Fund ending balance
$357.2 million in fiscal year 2025. Idaho's General Fund cash balance at the close of the fiscal year, after that year's revenue, transfers and spending.

Caveats
- Fiscal years 2026 and 2027 appropriations are enacted amounts for years not yet fully executed as of retrieval.
- Spending by agency and the General Fund spending total cover fiscal years 2024 to 2025 only; each report's summary table carries one year of actual spending.
- Actual figures are budgetary-basis, all-funds expenditure, not the modified-accrual figure under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) reports; the two disagree for fiscal year 2025.
- Agency names are the report's own labels, in its comma-inverted style (e.g. 'Correction, Department of').
- Function subtotal rows and the Statewide Total row are excluded; the agency breakdown lists agencies only.
