    The temporary (Income Statement) accounts are closed to the permanent (Balance Sheet) acocunts.

    Expense accounts are credited, then debited tn the Income Summary Account so there is a 0 balance in the expense accounts.

    Revenue accounts are debited, then credited to the Income Summary Account so that there is a 0 balance in the revenue accounts.

    Then the difference in the Income Summary Account is transferred to the Retained Earnings Account (Balance Sheet) so there is a 0 balnce in the income summary account.
