Context Unusual reporting

Lists Automobile (2017 Hyundai Sonata), Automobile (2024 Hyundai Sonata) separately from the $40,000 household-goods total

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.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
