We won't give you the answers but we will check your work and answer specific questions. Have you identified which of these accounts belong on the Income Statement?

You only want income and expense items. This will not include payables or receivables. They belong on the Balance Sheet, along with the cash and owners equity.

Can you write out how the Income Statement will look? You can find a sample in your textbook or online, but basically you need to list all your accounts.

If you'll post what you come up with (plus show your net income and compute taxes), we can check it and go from there.
