Context 3

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,946,000; listed items add up to $743,000

Reported net worth: $1,946,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $743,000. 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. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

Context Missing or incomplete

Assets itemized in an attachment on pages 5–44

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 5–44).

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.

What to check
  • Compare with the other candidates in the race.
  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.
