ContextUnusual reporting
Net worth $5,006,818; listed items add up to $3,253,000
Reported net worth: $5,006,818. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $3,253,000. 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.
