According to OSPB's projections, revenue is expected to fall $15.3 million below the TABOR cap in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025-26. This is a significant improvement from the previous forecast in March, which predicted a shortfall of $229 million below the TABOR cap. Additionally, TABOR surpluses of $469.9 million in FY 2026-27 and $52.3 million in FY 2027-28 are anticipated.

However, it should be noted that the lower TABOR surplus in 2027-28 is due to an expected increase in inflation. Despite this potential setback, the overall outlook for Colorado's economy remains positive.
