Caveats

State government only. Local property taxes and local-option sales taxes are excluded, which is why Property Taxes is a small (or suppressed) figure for most states, including Idaho.
Values are in thousands of dollars as published (unit usd_thousands), current dollars as originally reported, not adjusted for price or wage changes.
Fiscal-year windows differ by state: most states' fiscal year ends June 30, but Alabama and Michigan end September 30, New York ends March 31, and Texas ends August 31. Comparing the same period label (e.g. FY2024) across states compares different twelve-month windows.
This dataset starts at FY2005. The source states that the Census Bureau implemented significant changes to its state-government finance classification system effective with FY2005 data (new variables, discontinued ones, redefined coverage); earlier years back to FY1902 exist in the source under a different, not-directly-comparable classification and are not included here.
government.tax_collections uses the 26 detail tax-item codes Census defines (T01, T09-T19, T20-T29, T40-T41, T50-T53, T99; at most 25 are active in any one fiscal year). The intermediate subtotal categories the source also publishes (Total Sales and Gross Receipts Taxes, Total Selective Sales Tax, Total License Taxes, the Motor Vehicle and Operators License subtotal, Total Income Taxes, Total Other Taxes) are not included as categories: each is a sum of detail categories already present, and mixing a subtotal with its own children would double an amount if both were added together.
T14 (Pari-mutuels Sales Tax) was folded into T18 (Sports Betting Sales Tax) beginning FY2023; a state's pari-mutuel tax revenue can appear under T14 before FY2023 and under T18 from FY2023 on.
A cell the source flags as suppressed (X) or not published that year (-11111) is omitted from the observations, never recorded as zero or interpolated from another year.
The source file carries no preliminary/revised flag column; every observation here is recorded as status final.
government.tax_collections_total is the source's own published 'Total Taxes' figure, not a sum computed by this puller from the category detail.
