Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $219,500; listed items add up to $262,841

Reported net worth: $219,500. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $262,841. 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.

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items

Context Missing or incomplete

Assets itemized in an attachment on pages 7–8

The form says “see attached” for 1 entry, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 7–8).
