爱荷华州上调收入预测：2027财年85.4亿美元 与96.5亿美元预算之间仍有约11亿美元差额
得梅因——爱荷华州收入估算会议（Revenue Estimating Conference，REC）10月16日在得梅因开会，将2027财年州普通基金收入预测定为85.4亿美元，较2026财年的83.1亿美元增长2.8%，比该会议今年3月的预测高出约6,600万美元。
会议同时预测，2028财年收入将增至88.3亿美元，较2027财年增长3.4%。收入估算会议由三名成员组成，其预测是州长与州议会编制州预算的依据；2027财年已于今年7月1日开始，至2027年6月30日结束。
不过，州议会已通过的2027财年预算为96.5亿美元，预测收入与支出之间约11亿美元的差额须动用储备填补。2026财年结束时，州纳税人减负基金约有32亿美元，州普通基金结余约16亿美元。州管理部主任、收入估算会议成员克雷格·保尔森表示，该州现金状况极为强劲，并认为纳税人减负基金可支撑到收入回升赶上支出。爱荷华州收入此前数年因减税而收缩，个人所得税自2025年起实行3.8%的单一税率。
州长金·雷诺兹在会后发表声明称，最新预测反映本州财政前景强劲稳定，自3月以来预测上调显示全州经济活动与收入条件改善。州参议院民主党人批评这一缺口不可持续；州参议院共和党多数党领袖则表示，预测显示爱荷华州经济强劲、有韧性。
州参议院多数党领袖迈克·克利梅什表示，最新预测显示爱荷华州经济强劲且具韧性。11月3日，该州将选举新一任州长，雷诺兹不再竞选连任。
Iowa Raises Revenue Forecasts: $8.54 Billion for FY2027, $8.83 Billion for FY2028, With About a $1.1 Billion Budget Gap
DES MOINES — Iowa's Revenue Estimating Conference met in Des Moines on October 16 and set projected state General Fund receipts for fiscal year 2027 at $8.54 billion, up 2.8 percent from $8.31 billion in fiscal 2026 and about $66 million above the panel's March estimate.
The three-member panel also projected fiscal 2028 receipts of $8.83 billion, a 3.4 percent increase. Its estimates guide the governor and Legislature in building the state budget; fiscal 2027 began on July 1 and runs through June 30, 2027.
The Legislature's enacted fiscal 2027 budget is $9.65 billion, leaving a gap of about $1.1 billion between projected revenue and spending to be covered from reserves. At the close of fiscal 2026, the state's Taxpayer Relief Fund held about $3.2 billion and the ending balance stood at about $1.6 billion. Kraig Paulsen, director of the Iowa Department of Management and a panel member, said the state is in an extremely strong cash position and expects the relief fund to last until revenues catch up. State revenue had shrunk in recent years following tax cuts that brought the individual income tax to a flat 3.8 percent rate in 2025.
In a statement after the meeting, Governor Kim Reynolds said the latest projections reflect a strong and stable financial outlook, with upward adjustments since March signaling improved economic activity statewide. Senate Democrats criticized the gap as unsustainable, while the Senate Republican majority leader said the projections show Iowa's economy is strong and resilient.
Senate Majority Leader Mike Klimesh said the latest projections show Iowa's economy is strong and resilient. Iowans will elect a new governor on November 3; Reynolds is not seeking reelection.
