The change in the deficit was influenced by the timing of outlays, which decreased the deficit during the first seven months of fiscal year 2024. Outlays in fiscal year 2024 were reduced by shifts in the timing of payments that were due on October 1, 2023, a Sunday. (The payments were made that September.) If not for those shifts, the deficit so far this fiscal year would have been $123 billion more than the shortfall at this point last year. In addition, part of the deficit increase in 2025 arises from the postponement of some tax deadlines from 2023 to 2024 (described below), which boosted receipts in 2024.
