Context 2

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($18,715) instead of what's in them

The instructions say the investments held in a brokerage account or IRA are the assets to report — not the account itself. As listed, the public can't see what the filer is invested in.

What to check
  • Which companies or funds are in these accounts? Holdings matter for conflicts of interest.

Rule: Accounts listed instead of investments

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $951,142; listed items add up to $823,553

Reported net worth: $951,142. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $823,553. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.
