West Virginia collected $567 million in individual income taxes during the fourth quarter of 2023, a 14.3% increase over the third quarter of 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Quarterly Summary of State and Local Taxes.

The previous quarter's individual income tax revenue was $496 million.

Individual income taxes are based on net personal income and taxes imposed on such income as dividends, interest, and income from intangibles.

In addition to detailed tax revenue data from each state, the Quarterly Summary of State and Local Government Tax Revenue includes an estimate of state and local government tax revenue at a national level.

The Census Bureau cautions that it sets the tax classifications among the survey categories, and they may differ from the classifications set by the state governments.

Overall, West Virginia collected $1.6 billion in combined tax revenues in the fourth quarter of 2023, an increase from the $1.5 billion collected in the previous quarter.
