I am having issues getting a balance sheet to come out right. I have redone this several times and am at a loss as to what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help me out with this? I have attached my documenmts to show what I am working with and where I have gotten stuck. Thanks

The problem is in the equity. Net income and withdrawals affect equity. You have changed this balance, telling me you know it needs changed, but how did you get 12,680?

But this was 12,000 in your first post. That's why your exactly 2000 off.
