Monthly Budget Review for August 2020
The federal budget deficit in August 2020 was $198 billion, CBO estimates, $3 billion less than the deficit in August of last year.

The cumulative federal budget deficit for the first 11 months of fiscal year 2020 was $3.0 trillion, CBO estimates, $1.9 trillion more than the deficit recorded for the same period last year.
