In 1912, total federal receipts in the United States amounted to approximately $360 million. This figure represented the government's income from various sources, including taxes and tariffs, during that fiscal year. The revenue was significantly lower than in later years, reflecting the smaller size and scope of the federal government at that time.

The U.S. fiscal year starts on October 1 and runs through September 30 of the following year. This timing was established by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which aimed to streamline the federal budgeting process. Starting the fiscal year in October allows time for the completion of annual budget proposals and reviews, coinciding with the end of the traditional fiscal year used by many businesses and organizations. Additionally, it provides a clear separation between the federal fiscal cycle and the calendar year.
