    How to find income summary?
    I'm confused as to how to locate the income summary for both debit and credit for adjustments as well as debit and credit for adjusted trial balance. I've gotten the answers for everything else but this I have no clue on how to get.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    The Income Summary account is used only when closing out your temporary accounts. You close out your revenues and expenses to Income Summary, then the Income Summary account is closed out to Retained Earnings.
