Net worth $200,000; listed items add up to $397,000
Reported net worth: $200,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $397,000. 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.
What to check
- No action needed unless other items look off.
