Does accumulated depr and depreciation go in the trial balance? If they do then how do they match each other if say for example the depr for the year was 60 but accumulated depr is 120 as a result of this years and last years depreciation? Thanks

Both accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense will appear in the adjusted trial balance, but only accumulated depreciation will appear in the post-closing trial balance.
And accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense balances won't match unless they are in the first period(first time) of operation of the company.Remember depreciation expense is only a temporary account that is close at the end of each period, and accumulated depreciation is an asset account and will keep appearing in the trial balance and balance sheet.

I was asked to do a trial balance and I don't know if I should put in accumulated depreciation and depreciation charge for the year? What do you think I should do? And does accumulated depreciation include this years charge?
