Context 6

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $13,357,492; listed items add up to $8,881,159

Reported net worth: $13,357,492. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $8,881,159. 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. 2 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

  • Does listed income explain the change?
