Worth a look 1

Worth a look Unusual reporting

Reports a $250,000 net worth but lists no assets (only $50,000 of household goods)

The assets section is marked “N/A”, yet net worth is $250,000. Every asset worth more than $1,000 has to be listed, so about $200,000 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?

Context 2

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $250,000; listed items add up to -$125,000

Reported net worth: $250,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = -$125,000. 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

Context Income & business ties

78% of listed income ($105,000) comes from Florida Rising

Listed income totals $134,000 from 2 sources. The largest is classed as other / unclassified.

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.
