Federal government
In the United States, the fiscal year of the federal government begins 1 October and ends 30 September the following year. These fiscal years ran from 1 July to 30 June the following year. The current fiscal year of 1 October to 30 September was introduced by the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. This created what is known as the "transitional quarter", from 1 July 1976 to 30 September 1976, to allow Congress more time to arrive at budget decisions. The first "modern" fiscal year ran 1 October 1976 to 30 September 1977, and was called fiscal year 1976-77 (abbreviated FY77).
State governments
State governments set their own fiscal year. Forty-seven of the fifty states set their fiscal year to end on 30 June. Three states have fiscal years that are different: * New York, ends 31 March * Texas, ends 31 August * Alabama, ends 30 September The fiscal year for the Washington, DC government ends on 30 September. Among the inhabited territories of the United States, most align with the federal fiscal year, ending on 30 September. These include American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands and the US Virgin Islands. Puerto Rico is the exception, with its fiscal year ending on 30 June.
