    Insolvency worksheet supposed to include personal residence?

    Insolvency worksheet suppose to include personal residence? With my past clients I used a spread sheet that included personal residence but didn't matter, the clients still displayed a negative net worth but now I have a new client that told me they can show negative net worth w/o their personal residence since the taxpayer has no mortgage.

    I think you have to include it. When calculating net worth,what would be the difference between excluding a $100K personal residence with no mortgage vs excluding $100K in a bank account?

      My understanding is that total assets includes everything including the main home or any additional homes.
