Worth a look 1

Worth a look Unusual reporting

Values Antique Car, Truck, Camper at $155,000

Collectibles rarely have an established market price, and the form doesn't say how this value was reached. Assets must be reported at fair market value; this one is 21% of reported net worth.

What to check
  • Is there evidence of sales or appraisals at this value?
  • Would the net worth look different without it?

Rule: Hard-to-value asset
“Value each asset by its fair market value on the date used in the Net Worth section of this form.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets — How to Value ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context 3

Context Unusual reporting

Lists Antique Car, Truck, Camper separately from the $132,148 household-goods total

Personal vehicles, jewelry, art and furnishings can be reported in the household-goods lump sum or itemized. Net worth doesn't appear to count them twice.

What to check
  • No action needed unless the lump sum also includes these items.

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

Net worth $730,870; listed items add up to $1,860,018

Reported net worth: $730,870. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,860,018. 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.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

71% of listed income ($131,090) comes from DeSoto County Supervisor of Elections

Listed income totals $183,833 from 3 sources. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

What to check
  • Who is this source, and does it have business before the office sought?
  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

Rule: Where the money comes from
“List the name of each source of income that provided you with more than $1,000 of income during”2024 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
