The economists at the time noted the \u201cforecasting environment is generally stable,\u201d but there was an \u201celevated\u201d uncertainty on the economic outlook \u201cfrom this point forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The state forecast is intended to help lawmakers make budget decisions. General revenue is closely watched because it plays a major role in funding education, health and prison programs.<\/p>\n<p>In the January figures, sales tax collections came in at $3.56 billion, or $5.2 million under the forecast.<\/p>\n<p>The $179.4 million in corporate income taxes was $3.2 million under the forecast. And earnings on state investments totaled $105.8 million for the month, $14 million below the forecast.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, documentary stamp taxes on real estate transactions came in at $140.4 million for the month, $33.6 million over the forecast.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftallahasseereports.com%2F2026%2F03%2F04%2Fjanuary-revenue-falls-short-of-forecast%2F\" style=\"display:inline-block;\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sfsi_wicon\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" alt=\"fb-share-icon\" title=\"Facebook Share\" src=\"https:\/\/tallahasseereports.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-social-media-plus\/images\/share_icons\/fb_icons\/en_US.svg\"\/><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=January+Revenue+Falls+Short+of+Forecast https:\/\/tallahasseereports.com\/2026\/03\/04\/january-revenue-falls-short-of-forecast\/\" style=\"display:inline-block\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" nopin=\"nopin\" width=\"auto\" class=\"sfsi_plus_wicon\" src=\"https:\/\/tallahasseereports.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-social-media-plus\/images\/share_icons\/Twitter_Tweet\/en_US_Tweet.svg\" alt=\"Tweet\" title=\"Tweet\"\/>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; By The News Service of Florida State general revenue collections for January fell just short of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8098,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[232,234,233],"class_list":["post-178260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178260\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
