Salary expense is not a liability - it is an expense; however, if salaries are accrued between periods, there will likely be a liability account named "Accrued Salaries" or "Salary Due."Associated with salaries; however, are various taxes. Those taxes are not necessarily submitted to government entities at the same time as the salary is paid to employees. There will likely be liability account(s) associated with those taxes.
Depreciation expense is neither an asset or liability. It is an expense.
As you accrue expenses, they show up as a CREDIT on the balance sheet, and a DEBIT on the income statement. Then as you actually incur the expense and pay out, you would CREDIT your cash account, and DEBIT the accrued liability account on the balance sheet. For example, if you expect to spend $12,000/year on business travelling expenses, you would accrue $1000 monthly as a CREDIT to your accrued liability account (on the balance sheet), then a DEBIT to the expense account (on the income statement). When you actually do incur the expense and pay out, you CREDIT your cash account, and DEBIT the accrued liability account. Thus, the accrued liability account is cleared out and eventually washed out to zero.
If you are doing adjusting entries, an accrued expense will affect a balance sheet account (payable) and an income statement account (expense). Such as accrued interest at the end of year would be: Interest Expense (Debit) Interest Payable (Credit)
No, in recording the adjusting entry for accrued taxes, one account is increased while the other account is increased. The accrued taxes payable account is increased to record the liability for the taxes that has been earned but not yet paid, and an expense account (such as taxes expense) is also increased to reflect the amount of taxes that has been incurred.
