Department of the Treasury obligations in Massachusetts 4th District (MA-04)
Massachusetts 4th District (MA-04) shows $3,227,533,870.01 in all-agency USAspending.gov obligations on this extract. Department of the Treasury (agency 020) accounts for $35,135,578.41 of that book — about 1.1% — across 25 awards. A share of a district total is a join statistic, not a ranking of districts and not proof that tax receipts or debt auctions explain the cell. The metric is obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- Department of the Treasury in MA-04 shows $35,135,578.41 in USAspending obligations on 25 awards.
- 25 awards are a row count, not a census of IRS campuses, mints, or tax returns.
- The join is agency 020 plus MA-04, not tax receipts and not the district's full all-agency book.
- The total is commitments, not outlays. FEC donations do not fund this cell.
Treasury is a thin slice of the MA-04 district book
Massachusetts 4th District (MA-04) stores a small Treasury cell against a multi-billion district book. $35.1 million on agency 020 is a thin slice, not a tax-collection total and not the whole MA-04 obligation story. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $35,135,578.41 on 25 awards for awarding agency 020 with Massachusetts 4th District (MA-04) as place of performance. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 25 awards equal 25 Treasury bureaus. A Department of the Treasury amount tagged to a different district is out of this cell.
OMB, SSA, or Commerce awards that mention finance in a description sit outside $35,135,578.41 unless those awards also carry agency 020 and MA-04 geography. Mixing those lines would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and tax receipts or debt auctions is not causation. Those series are not in the packet. Place of performance as MA-04 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $35,135,578.41 in a district treasury. Other Massachusetts districts and other awarding agencies in MA-04 sit outside this Treasury pair.
25 Treasury awards in Massachusetts 4th District
Twenty-five Treasury awards behind tens of millions is a short list. Do not read 25 as 25 IRS campuses or 25 named bureaus. Mean obligation is about $1,405,423.14 if $35,135,578.41 were divided evenly across 25 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. The extract does not split IRS, Fiscal Service, or other bureaus inside agency 020. Unique recipients are unpublished.
This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Massachusetts 4th District for the stored district table and Department of the Treasury for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 25 into a map of IRS campuses, mints, or tax returns inside Massachusetts 4th District. The $35,135,578.41 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.
MA-04 Treasury obligations are not refunds already mailed
Treasury obligations are commitments, not tax refunds already issued. Treasury awards often obligate as contracts or assistance are recorded and draw as work is billed. The $35,135,578.41 headline is the obligation sum on this district-agency join, not refunds already mailed or securities already settled. Citing the figure as cash already sent confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. No fiscal year is attached to this packet; do not annualize $35,135,578.41 into a yearly run rate.
Keep the obligation word on $35,135,578.41. Keep both Department of the Treasury and Massachusetts 4th District (MA-04) in the citation. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Different datasets can share a state abbreviation without sharing a money trail.
What the Massachusetts 4th District Treasury extract omits
The extract has no roster of IRS campuses, mints, or tax returns. Facts remain $35,135,578.41, 25 awards, agency 020 (Department of the Treasury), Massachusetts 4th District (MA-04), and a district-wide book of $3,227,533,870.01. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score.
Massachusetts 4th District places MA-04 among other congressional districts. Department of the Treasury places agency 020 among other awarding agencies. Massachusetts federal spending is the statewide shelf. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Massachusetts spending or of Department of the Treasury's national book the packet never computed. The $35,135,578.41 figure is the tagged pair only. Other Massachusetts districts and other awarding agencies in MA-04 sit outside this Treasury pair.
Citing Department of the Treasury (agency 020) in MA-04
A clean footnote names Department of the Treasury (agency 020), Massachusetts 4th District (MA-04), $35,135,578.41 in obligations, and 25 awards on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 25 as a census of IRS campuses, mints, or tax returns. Quote the district overlay if you need every awarding agency in MA-04, and quote the agency page if you need Department of the Treasury without a district filter. About 1.1% of the $3,227,533,870.01 district book sits on this agency in the extract; that percentage is a derived ratio, not a separate published table.
A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is awarding agency 020. The other is congressional district place of performance as MA-04. The headline $35,135,578.41 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that Department of the Treasury caused Massachusetts 4th District's economy to grow, or that the district caused the awards to exist. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge.

Mean obligation of about $1,405,423.14 is a quotient, not a typical published award. See Massachusetts 4th District for stored lines.

Related agencies and other districts are not inside $35,135,578.41 unless they also carry both keys. Other Massachusetts districts and other awarding agencies in MA-04 sit outside this Treasury pair.
