Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,494,585; listed items add up to $332,800

Reported net worth: $1,494,585. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $332,800. 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. 2 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 and debts itemized in an attachment on pages 4–6

The form says “see attached” for 2 entries, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 4–6).
