Context 7

Context Unusual reporting

Lists vehicles separately from the $500,000 household-goods total

Personal vehicles, jewelry, art and furnishings can be reported in the household-goods lump sum or itemized. Net worth doesn't appear to count them twice.

What to check
  • No action needed unless the lump sum also includes these items.

Rule: Household items listed twice
“Describe, and state the value of, each asset you had on the reporting date you selected for your net worth, if the asset was worth more than $1,000 and if you have not already included that asset in the aggregate value of your household goods and personal effects.”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

“checking” ($7,000) doesn't name the institution

Intangible assets should name the entity they relate to.

What to check
  • Which bank, company or fund is this?

Rule: Asset without a named institution
“Do not list simply "stocks and bonds" or "bank accounts."”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets (quote not found in this year's instructions) · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

“savings” ($50,000) doesn't name the institution

Intangible assets should name the entity they relate to.

What to check
  • Which bank, company or fund is this?

“Do not list simply "stocks and bonds" or "bank accounts."”2022 Form 6 instructions, Assets (quote not found in this year's instructions) · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $800,000; listed items add up to $1,253,000

Reported net worth: $800,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,253,000. 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.

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items
“Simply subtracting your liabilities from your assets will not result in an accurate net worth figure in most cases.”2022 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

66% of listed income ($30,806) comes from Gilchrist County Commissioner

Listed income totals $46,806 from 3 sources. 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.

Rule: Where the money comes from
“List the name of each source of income that provided you with more than $1,000 of income during”2022 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

Most income is from government & public payroll (79%)

Sector is inferred from the names of income sources and the businesses they own.

What to check

Rule: Where the money comes from
“List the name of each source of income that provided you with more than $1,000 of income during”2022 Form 6 instructions, Income ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

Earns from 3 separate employers or businesses

Several distinct earned-income sources (excluding investments, retirement and Social Security).

What to check

Rule: Several earned-income sources
