Sales tax revenue had the strongest improvement last month, taking in $383.7 million, nearly $4 million more than projected by Minnesota Management and Budget.
Individual income tax collections were off slightly, coming in at $615.3 million, about $200,000 below target.
Corporate income taxes accounted for $8 million, about $1.6 million less than expected.
An economic snapshot released last week by Minnesota Management and Budget revealed that the state will end the fiscal year about $1.3 billion better than projected, money that by law must go to repay K-12 public schools.
For the next two-year budget cycle, forecasters are anticipating a deficit of $1.1 billion.
