Federal Deficit Outlook Brighter Amid Tax Withholding Changes
The Office of Management and Budget may revise the current fiscal year deficit down by 6 to 8 billion. Treasury reports show tax collections running about 1 billion per month higher than expected, potentially cutting the shortfall by roughly 5 billion. Expenditures appear below forecast, but spending pace varies, with Navy spending slower than planned. A revenue sharing bill could add about 2.5 billion to the deficit retroactive to Jan 1, likely clearing Congress by midyear. The combination suggests a leaner deficit if withholding adjustments boost net revenues and growth continues.
