A big reason was the jump in corporate tax receipts, which rose a whopping 34%. CBO attributes the increase in large part to a change in tax rules, particularly those that govern how fast companies can write off equipment costs.
Individual income tax and payroll tax receipts were also higher, by 3% and 4%, respectively.
Spending, meanwhile, fell 2%. That decline, however, is due mostly to shifts in the timing of payments, CBO said.
