Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $2,500,585; listed items add up to $700,000

Reported net worth: $2,500,585. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $700,000. 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 4–5

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 4–5).

Context Income & business ties

100% of listed income ($182,000) comes from State of Florida

Listed income totals $182,000 from 1 source. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

What to check
  • Who is this source, and does it have business before the office sought?
  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.
