No income listed (marked “N/A”), and no tax return attached

Income must be disclosed either by listing each source over $1,000 or by attaching the federal tax return. Neither appears here.

What to check
  • Check the income page of the original. Only the filer's own income over $1,000 is required, so someone supported by a spouse or serving unpaid may genuinely have nothing to list.

Rule: No income listed and no tax return

Context 8

Context Unusual reporting

Itemizes the $15,000 household-goods total

The household-goods lump sum ($15,000) is also broken down in the asset list (Car), and the items add up exactly to it — a breakdown, which is how many filers do it. Net worth doesn't appear to count them twice.

What to check
  • No action needed.

Rule: Household items listed twice
“Describe, and state the value of, each asset you had on the reporting date you selected for your net worth, if the asset was worth more than $1,000 and if you have not already included that asset in the aggregate value of your household goods and personal effects.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($500,000) 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
“Note that the product contained in a brokerage account, IRA, or the Florida College Investment Plan, is your asset”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

“IRA” ($500,000) doesn't name the institution

Intangible assets should name the entity they relate to.

What to check
  • Which bank, company or fund is this?

Rule: Asset without a named institution
“Do not list simply "stocks and bonds" or "bank accounts."”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

“Bank Accounts” ($65,000) doesn't name the institution

Context Unusual reporting

All 5 asset values are round numbers

Every listed asset is valued in round thousands, which suggests estimates rather than statements or appraisals. That's allowed, but it makes the totals less precise.

What to check
  • Are bank or brokerage balances (which are exact) rounded too?

Rule: All values are round numbers

How this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $2,445,000; listed items add up to $2,418,900

Reported net worth: $2,445,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $2,418,900 (after removing the items counted twice). They roughly agree.

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.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $2,445,000 — a millionaire on paper

Net worth is the filer's own figure. Being wealthy isn't a problem; it's context for comparing candidates and for reading the rest of the form.

What to check
  • Compare with the other candidates in the race.
  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.

Rule: Net worth tier
“Report your net worth as of”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $1,700,000 (70% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

What to check
  • Look the parcels up with the county property appraiser: land use (vacant or improved), assessed value and when they were bought.
  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.

Rule: Real estate holdings
“Real property: Identify by providing the street address of the property.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
