Income tax revenues are lagging far behind projections with just four days to go until the end of what is typically California's highest-grossing month.

The state took in about $574.5 million in personal income tax receipts Friday, boosting the month's running total to $5.2 billion.

Income tax revenues accounted for 51 percent of the state's general fund revenues in 2008-09.
