The federal government ran a budget surplus of $182.4 billion in April, up $76.4 billion from the same month last year, the Treasury Department said Wednesday. This is the largest April surplus since a record set in 2001.
Total receipts were $455.6 billion, up 4% from April 2016. Receipts were boosted by a change in corporate tax filing deadlines from mid-March to mid-April.
Spending in the seventh month of the fiscal year was $273.2 billion, an 18% decrease from the same month last year.
