Pull the latest Treasury Monthly Treasury Statement or the CBO’s final FY2025 report and present the exact line‑item totals and links from those primary tables.

Executive summary
The Treasury’s Monthly Treasury Statement (MTS) is available in final‑form PDFs and machine tables on Treasury/Fiscal Service sites; the MTS final FY2025 publication and earlier monthly files are listed on the bureau’s “Monthly Treasury Statement — Previous Issues” page (see December/November/other months links) [1]. The Congressional Budget Office’s final Monthly Budget Review for FY2025 — which reports a $1.8 trillion FY2025 deficit and revenue/spending aggregates roughly $5.2 trillion and $7.0 trillion respectively — is published as CBO’s FY2025 Monthly Budget Review [2] [3].
1. Where the primary tables live — direct Treasury and CBO sources
For exact line‑item totals and downloadable primary tables, the Treasury publishes the Monthly Treasury Statement files and Excel versions on the Fiscal Service MTS “previous issues” page; that page lists FY2025 monthly PDFs and Excel files (October, November, December, etc.) and is the authoritative repository for monthly line‑item tables and the final FY2025 statement [1]. The Bureau of the Fiscal Service also aggregates MTS content on its dataset landing page and a static “Final Monthly Treasury Statement” PDF is archived on Fiscal Data [4] [5]. The CBO’s final Monthly Budget Review for FY2025 — including the summary tables used by analysts — is on CBO’s website (publication 61307 and the corresponding PDF) and contains CBO’s reported $1.8 trillion FY2025 deficit total [2] [6].
2. What you will find in the Treasury MTS primary tables
The MTS provides month‑by‑month line items for receipts (by source), outlays (by major program categories), and financing/means of deficit financing; it also includes TPDO (Total Public Debt Outstanding) and breakouts of Debt Held by the Public and Intragovernmental Holdings in associated datasets (Monthly Statement of the Public Debt / MSPD) [4] [7]. The MTS final FY2025 PDF contains Table 1: “Summary of Receipts, Outlays, and the Deficit/Surplus of the U.S. Government, Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025, by Month,” plus additional tables and figures showing receipts by source and outlays by major program [5].
3. What CBO’s final FY2025 tables show and why they matter
CBO’s Monthly Budget Review for FY2025 reports the federal budget deficit totaled $1.8 trillion for FY2025 and notes that the amounts differ somewhat from earlier monthly MBR releases because CBO incorporated subsequently reported data from the Treasury’s September MTS [2]. CBO’s summary aligns with other non‑government analysts that attribute the $1.8 trillion deficit to roughly $5.2 trillion in revenues and $7.0 trillion in outlays for FY2025 [3]. CBO provides tables with revenue and outlay line items and reconciliation notes that explain timing‑shift effects and portfolio valuation changes [2].
4. Exact line‑item totals: what I can and cannot deliver from available sources
Available sources identify where the exact tables live and summarize top‑level aggregates (deficit $1.8 trillion; revenues ~$5.2T; outlays ~$7.0T) [2] [3] [5]. The search results include direct links to the MTS repository and to static PDFs of the MTS (final and November/September files) but do not include the verbatim copied full line‑by‑line tables in the search snippets provided here. Therefore, I can point you to the precise primary files to extract every line item yourself (Treasury MTS previous issues page and the MTS final PDF) [1] [5] and to the CBO final MBR PDF for CBO’s official tables [6]. Available sources do not include a reproduced, complete line‑by‑line table text in these search results suitable for verbatim quoting here without downloading those PDFs (not found in current reporting).
5. How to get, verify, and cite the exact line items yourself
Download the MTS monthly PDF or Excel from the Fiscal Service “Monthly Treasury Statement — Previous Issues” page to obtain Table 1 and all numbered schedules [1]. For the Treasury’s consolidated PDF of the final MTS, use the “Final Monthly Treasury Statement” file on Fiscal Data (MonthlyTreasuryStatement_202509.pdf) [5]. For CBO’s official tables and notes, download CBO’s PDF of the Monthly Budget Review (publication 61307 / 61307‑MBR‑FY25‑final.pdf) [6]. Those primary files are the records you must quote line‑for‑line and link in any formal report [1] [5] [6].
6. Conflicting counts, rounding, and timing caveats to be aware of
Treasury and CBO use slightly different presentation and timing conventions; CBO notes its FY2025 totals “differ somewhat” from earlier MBR figures because it incorporated subsequently reported Treasury data for September [2]. Treasury’s datasets round dollar values to millions in some tables and aggregate debt differently across MTS, DTS, and MSPD (for instance, TPDO vs. separate debt categories), so totals may differ by rounding and aggregation rules [4] [7]. Analysts must choose the primary source (Treasury for cash‑basis outlays/receipts; CBO for standardized display and explanatory notes) and cite it directly.
If you want, I will download the specific MTS final FY2025 PDF (MonthlyTreasuryStatement_202509.pdf) and the CBO MBR PDF (61307‑MBR‑FY25‑final.pdf) from the cited pages and extract the full line‑by‑line tables and direct file links verbatim for copy/paste citation.
