    Does anyone know how to make a balance sheet account close into retained earnings at the end of the year?  We are a financial services/insurance organization that needs to track multiple pieces of the retained earnings component in different accounts for statutory reporting.

      Someone correct me, but balance sheet accounts do not close to retained earnings. In order to get a b/s account balance into retained earnings, you would need to do a journal entry.
