Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,228,305; listed items add up to $75,447

Reported net worth: $1,228,305. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $75,447. 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 4–12, 14, 26–28, 30, 33–38, 40, 43, 45

The form says “see attached” for 2 entries, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 4–12, 14, 26–28, 30, 33–38, 40, 43, 45).

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