Accounting Dictionary - Letter T
(also called nominal accounts) are closed at the end of each accounting period. At the beginning of the next accounting period these accounts have zero balances and can be used to accumulate transactions for that period's activity. Temporary accounts are mostly income statement accounts, except for a distribution account which is an equity statement account.
