The Income Summary AccountIt’s about time we started using this

account.

How do we use the income summary

account?

Income Summary is used to accumulate and summarize the revenue and the expenses for the accounting period.Income Summary is a simple version of the income statement for the period.

Revenue goes in as a credit, and expenses go in as debits. The balance of Income Summary is the net income or net loss for the accounting period.

Page 4: Closing Entries Closing Entries are journal entries made to close the balances in the temporary capital accounts and to transfer the net income or net.

Quick Summary ofClosing Entries

• The balance of the revenue account is transferred to Income Summary

• The expense balances are transferred to Income Summary

• The balance of Income Summary is transferred to the Capital account

• The balance of withdrawals is transferred to the Capital account

Page 5: Closing Entries Closing Entries are journal entries made to close the balances in the temporary capital accounts and to transfer the net income or net.

Revenue Closing EntrySince a revenue account has a credit balance, in order to make the balance zero, the account must be debited.

Since for every debit there must be a credit of equal value, Income Summary is credited.

Remember to always keep balance Daniel Son.
