There isn't any way for anyone to know what you're doing wrong if you don't show the work you did for your adjusting entries. There isn't any way for anyone to know where you got 144,340 and 144,580 from.

Since the unadjusted trial balance does balance, the error has to be in the adjusting entries themselves, or in the math transferring over to your adjusted trial balance. Only possibilities.
