Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $2,071,539; listed items add up to $1,921,539

Reported net worth: $2,071,539. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,921,539. 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.

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items
“Simply subtracting your liabilities from your assets will not result in an accurate net worth figure in most cases.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

Earns from 3 separate employers or businesses

Several distinct earned-income sources (excluding investments, retirement and Social Security).

What to check
  • Are any of these sources connected to each other or to the office sought?

Rule: Several earned-income sources

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $949,332 across 3 properties (46% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.
