Net worth rose from $56,000 (2022) to $315,000 (2023) — 5.6×

This 2023 filing reports $315,000; the same person's 2022 filing reported $56,000, a change of $259,000 in 1 year. No income sources are listed for 2023. Inheritances, home values and markets can move net worth a lot, so compare what's listed in each year to see where the change shows up.

What to check
  • Compare the assets listed in each filing: which items are new or much larger?
  • Does listed income explain the change?

Worth a look Unusual reporting

Reports a $315,000 net worth but lists no assets

The assets section is marked “N/A”, yet net worth is $315,000. Every asset worth more than $1,000 has to be listed, so about $315,000 of what this filer owns isn't shown.

What to check
  • Compare with the filer's other filings: which assets did they list before?
  • Which accounts would produce the income listed?

Rule: Net worth with no assets listed

Hamilton County: no income listed, though the office pays a salary

The filer held Hamilton County in 2023, a salaried public office, but the primary sources of income are left empty, and no tax return is attached instead.

What to check
  • Check the income page of the original: the salary may be listed under another name.
  • Check that they were paid in office all year: the Commission keeps listing a suspended or departed official under the office, and a new term may start partway through the year.
  • Some officials decline or donate their salary; the form still asks for income received.

Context 1

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $315,000; listed items add up to $0

Reported net worth: $315,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $0. 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.
