Ok, your post-closing trial balance should include only all your assets, all your liabilities, your common stock or capital, and your retained earnings,
any expense account or revenue account is not included in the post- closing trial balance, remember that before preparing a post-closing trial balance you must close any revenue and expense account to the income summary account then close the income summary and dividends account to the retained earnings.
Hope this could help you.
