Usually, we use the "Income Summary" account to close the Income Statement accounts such as revenues and expenses.

First, close the revenue account by debiting it:

(DR) Service Revenue $450,000

(CR)       Income Summary    $450,000

Then, close the expenses accounts by crediting them:

(DR) Income Summary $407,000

(CR)        Salaries Expense       $350,000

(CR)        Rent Expense              $17,500

(CR)       Depreciation Expense   $35,000

(CR)      Interest Expense             $4,500

Finally, close the Income Summary account to Retained Earnings.

The balance of the Income Summary is a credit balance of $43,000

(credit of $450,000 less debit of $407,000)

So, to close the account we have to debit it.

(DR)  Income Summary      $43,000

(CR)               Retained Earnings          $43,000
