No, Cash does not go on the Income Statement. The Income Statement is just that a statement to show the company's Net Profit or Net Loss. The accounts used on the Income Statement are Revenue (Income) and Expenses.
For example, if we are a company and we have sales of $5,000 for the period ending (usually monthly), this goes in our Revenue Account (Income) and is listed on the Income Statement. We then List all expense, these include such expenses as Rent Expense, Income Tax Expense, Wage Expense (salaries), and so on.
our Revenue minus these expenses gives us our Net Profit (Net Loss if expense are more than Revenue)
The cash account does not affect the Income Statement. Cash is listed on all Trial Balance Sheets, The Balance Sheet. It is not used on either the Income Statement or Statement of Retained Earnings.
