For the first time since the start of the pandemic, the U.S. budget deficit is on track to fall below $1 trillion in fiscal 2022.
The numbers: The U.S. budget deficit narrowed to $66 billion in May from double that amount a year earlier, keeping it on track to fall below $1 trillion in fiscal 2022 for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
Most of the dropoff reflects the end of federal stimulus payments to businesses and individuals. The government doled out hundreds of billions of dollars in relief payments last year. Last year, the government pushed back tax filings because of the pandemic. That helped boost tax receipts in May. This year the deadline was moved back to its original April date.
