    T accounts to adjusted trial balance
    Hi, I have just got my transaction and adjustment journal entries in and posted over to my t accounts. My question is, what exactly do I need to do to balance these in order to transfer to the adjusted trial balance. Do I simply debit or credit one side the amount that it is off? Then what exactly is it that I post in my adjusted trial balance?

    Thanks for taking the time to read this, I'm a bit desperate and a lot confused :-)

    Add up the debits and the credits in each account. Figure the difference, which is your balance. It goes on the side that is bigger, which should be the normal balance side. That's what goes into your trial balance.

    Keep in mind that anything on the same side adds, and things on the opposite subtract.
