Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $278,081; listed items add up to $658,313

Reported net worth: $278,081. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $658,313. 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.
