Section 251 rescinded $1,389,525,000 of unobligated balances made available for IRS activities under section 10301 of Public Law 117-169.

A later law partially reduced the IRS IRA funding, but the rescission was small relative to the original roughly $79.4 billion allocation and did not erase the core enforcement and modernization appropriations.
