Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

“Bank Account” ($36,000) 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."”2025 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $787,000; listed items add up to $941,500

Reported net worth: $787,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $941,500. 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

82% of listed income ($196,868) comes from Circuit Judge State of Florida

Listed income totals $240,768 from 5 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”2025 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

Rule: Several earned-income sources

How this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $1,200,000 (152% 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.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
