The United States government recorded a $215 billion budget surplus in April, a 17% decline from the previous year. Increased tax refunds and rising interest costs reduced the surplus from $258 billion reported in April 2025. Record debt servicing costs and military outlays are pressuring the fiscal balance despite higher year-to-date tax receipts.
