$438,395 of assets itemized in an attachment on pages 5–8; $427,017 of it isn't found there

The form says “see attached” for 4 entries, and this copy includes the attachment (pages 5–8). FRS Investment Plan(See Attached) — $91,811: no matching amount found on the attachment; Wells-Fargo IRA(See Attached) — $219,355: no matching amount found on the attachment; Wells-Fargo Roth (See Attached) — $115,851: no matching amount found on the attachment; Charles Schwab(See Attached) — $11,378: matches “SPDR DOW JONES INDL ETF DIA 47.000 $11,158.21” (page 7) — within $220, likely rounding. An entry with no matching amount may be on a page that isn't in this copy, or the attachment may total it differently (or OCR misread it) — compare the page with the form.

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.
  • Compare the unmatched entries with the attachment, and with the filer's annual filing.

Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Lists Automobile Lease Value, 2023 Automobile separately from the $100,000 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.”2023 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $2,206,239; listed items add up to $2,206,239

Reported net worth: $2,206,239. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $2,206,239. They roughly agree. 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
“Simply subtracting your liabilities from your assets will not result in an accurate net worth figure in most cases.”2023 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

97% of listed income ($180,616) comes from State of Florida

Listed income totals $185,616 from 2 sources. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

Reports a net worth of $2,206,239 — a millionaire on paper

Real estate worth $1,500,000 (68% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.
