Maine collected $607 million in individual income taxes during the fourth quarter of 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

Individual income taxes are based on net personal income and taxes imposed on such income as dividends, interest and income from intangibles.

Overall, Maine collected $1.6 billion in combined tax revenues in the fourth quarter of 2023.

During 2023, the U.S. government collected a total of $4.44 trillion in revenue. Individual income taxes were the biggest contributor, generating $2.18 trillion—nearly half of all revenue collected. Payroll taxes came in second, adding around $1.6 trillion to revenue. The third largest source was corporate income taxes, generating $420 billion.

In addition to detailed tax revenue data from each state, the Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue includes an estimate of state and local government tax revenue at a national level.

The Census Bureau cautions that it sets the tax classifications among the survey categories, and they may differ from the classifications set by the state governments.
