You have two closing entries left; one to close out income summary to Retained Earnings and one to close out Owners Withdrawals to Retained Earnings.
So for the first closing entry you will need to calculate the amount, which will be the difference between your debits and credits. Since your account has a debit balance you will Debit Income Summary and Credit Retained Earnings for the amount of the difference between your debits and credits in Income Summary account.
Your second closing entry is Debit Retained Earnings and Credit Owners Withdrawals for the amount in the account.
