Kansas revenue receipts continue to outpace projections despite low totals in February.

The state's collections for February were $30 million short of expectations. However, Kansas is still ahead of its forecast by $65 million for the fiscal year.

February's shortage is attributed to a delay in tax filing deadlines by the federal government. 

"We anticipated this result from the delayed federal refunds last month. The good news is state revenue receipts overall continue to show signs of growth," Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said. "Kansas has collected $204 million more for the fiscal year to date that it had during at the same time last year."
