Context 3

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $12,798,415; listed items add up to $11,865,936

Reported net worth: $12,798,415. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $11,865,936. 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.

Context Income & business ties

Earns from 4 separate employers or businesses

Several distinct earned-income sources (excluding investments, retirement and Social Security).

What to check
  • Are any of these sources connected to each other or to the office sought?

Rule: Several earned-income sources
