Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Lists 1 investment account ($200,000) instead of what's in them

The instructions say the investments held in a brokerage account or IRA are the assets to report — not the account itself. As listed, the public can't see what the filer is invested in.

What to check
  • Which companies or funds are in these accounts? Holdings matter for conflicts of interest.

Rule: Accounts listed instead of investments

Context Unusual reporting

“401K” ($200,000) doesn't name the institution

Intangible assets should name the entity they relate to.

What to check
  • Which bank, company or fund is this?

Rule: Asset without a named institution
“Do not list simply "stocks and bonds" or "bank accounts."”2023 Form 6 instructions, Assets (quote not found in this year's instructions) · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $300,000; listed items add up to $469,800

Reported net worth: $300,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $469,800. 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

100% of listed income ($60,000) comes from McCool Transportation

Listed income totals $60,000 from 1 source. 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.
