Tax revenues increased in all but five states in fiscal year 2012, with some recording noticeable gains. In all, states collected $794.6 billion, a record-high that represents a 13 percent increase from 2010 totals, not adjusting for inflation.
Illinois reported the highest year-over-year increase, up $5.8 billion, resulting in large part from a personal income tax rate hike. Behind Illinois, the states with the highest tax revenue gains were Texas ($5.5 billion), New York ($3.6 billion) and Connecticut ($2 billion).
