Can you help me balance by adjusted trial balance to balance. Can you help me figure out where I went wrong?

I forgot to provide the additional information:
Jan  2  Invested into the business personal cash of $5,000
       2   Paid T. L Max for rental of back room at store for month of January $145.
       2   Purchases 1996 Chevy.  Total price is $4,249.35.  Down payment is $249.35
            Financed by a note through First National Bank.
       2   Paid $458.70 to Some State Insurance Co. for six months' coverage on auto.
       2   Purchases three new clown costumes from T.L. Max at a total cost of $432 and
            charged to his business account      
       3   Purchases appropriate make-up and apparel additives from T.L. Max for
            $156 also charging this purchase to the Hardy Party business account.
       4   Purchases party favors from T.L. Max for a cash outlay of $35 to be used at the
            forthcoming birthday party scheduled for Saturday, January 8.
       5   Took out an advertisement to run every Saturday starting Jan 8 for two months     with the Troy Times.  Cost of $500 to be paid on the 14th. Half of this amount is
            for January and half is for February advertising.
       5   Gas for auto fill up $35.09 put on business charge card.
       8   Performed birthday party for Stevens Family; collected cash of $245.
      11  Signed a 90-day note, bearing annual interest at 6% for startup monies $5,000
      11  Repaid T.L. Max amount due for make-up purchased on the third, $156.
      14  Paid Troy Times bill for advertising.
      14  Performed party for Donley Family $200, to be paid for on February 3.
      15  Transferred personal desk, chairs, sofa and tables to business “office”.  Items are
            currently worth about $1,200
      15 Picked up and wrote business check for cake from Kroger for $30 for the Dalton
            party that evening.  This amount to be reimbursed by Mrs. Dalton on delivery.
            Note: this is in effect a short-term loan for no effective transfer of title occurred.
      15  Performed party for Dalton Family' collected $250 which includes the
            reimbursement for the cake.
      17  Collected $450 in advance for Marsinius family reunion on February 12.
      17  Purchased used copier from Salvage Stan Supply Co. for $400.  Terms: net 30.
            (Amount due February 17).
      18  Pays Longhenry Co. to cater upcoming party at Smithhousers on Jan. 21. $170.
      21 Performs party for Smithhousers and collects cash for same of $425.
      24  Pays dry cleaning bill of $36.55.
      29  Withdraws $200 from business for personal use.
      31  Receives telephone bill for January $27.85 to be paid by February 10.
Adjusting entries

t Jan. 31: Of the previously purchased make-up and apparel, $25 worth has been used.
Balance due on the automobile was financed through a one-year, 6% note through First National Bank.
            Auto is intended to be used for three years, strictly for business.
            Assume a salvage value at the end of that time of $109.35.
            Use Straight-line depreciation
The expectation is that the clown costumes will last for three years but have no remaining value at the end of that time.  Use straight-line depreciation.
Personal desk, chairs, sofa and table transferred to business should last about three years with no salvage value at the end of that time. (Used for only one-half month in January).
On the used copier from Salvage Stan, anticipate a useful life of 3 years, no salvage –
            (also used only one-half month in January).

If you'll look at your other post, I answered your question. Your mistake is on line 29, but in the other post I also told you how to find mistakes.
