We recently released our Indiana state quarterly revenue update.

As of August 2026, fiscal year 2027 year-to-date revenues totaled $3,477.5 million, which is $46.3 million (1.4%) above the December 2025 revenue forecast and $309.8 million (9.8%) above revenues at the same date a year prior. Sales and use tax remains the primary source of state revenue, accounting for 56.6% of total revenues to date for the current fiscal year. In second place is individual income taxes, at 33.8% of all state revenue collected. Already in the first two months of the fiscal year, revenue collections have exceeded forecast projections. A positive (growth) revenue forecast in December 2026 could push the state’s structural surplus past even the existing FY 2027 reserve projections of $5 billion.

Last week we released the second of two reports on subsidized childcare programming (and funding) in Indiana. This second report discusses potential funding and service delivery models that might be considered as a long-term and sustainable solution, to meet the needs of working parents in Indiana. Specifically, we look at innovations and funding models in Indiana and other states to expand access to childcare to improve workforce outcomes and labor force participation. We discuss the impact of subsidized childcare on Indiana's labor force participation levels.

We just released the first of two reports on Indiana's subsidized childcare system. Numerous studies have indicated that access to childcare is critical for Hoosier parents’ ability to work. This is especially critical for low-income families and single-parent families.

This initial report focuses on the programs that already exist in Indiana to help low-income families that are dependent on reliable access to childcare to work – the Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) and On My Way Pre-K programs.

Federal funding for these programs increased significantly during the coronavirus pandemic, and then abruptly returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2025, leaving the state with enrollments that far exceeded their ability to pay.
