The purpose of the post-closing trial balance is to prove the equality of the balance sheet account balances that are carried forward into the next accounting period.
In trial balance after each entry is made the next step is to determine if the trial balance is still in balance. In a manual system the post closing trial balance also gives what the balance sheet will be at the beginning of the new period.
The contents of a trial balance will be your assets, liabilities, and equity accounts and all your ledger (temporary accounts). This is to check for accuracy in your ledger accounts and that your financial statements "balance out'. After you do your "trial balance" you then close your books for the year, closing all temporary accounts which include expenses and revenue (income). Once this is complete you prepare a Post-Closing Trial Balance (post-closing meaning "after closing"). This is to double check that all ledger accounts are closed properly and that your financial statements balance.
The adjusted trial balance includes depreciation and other adjustments. This is the account balance that changes between the adjusted trial balance and the post closing trial balance.
Yes, it is typically credited on the Post-Closing Trial Balance.

The post closing trial balance contains all accounts that are in the General Ledger, with the exception of any "closed accounts" such as revenue, expenses, etc.A post closing trial balance is created after all adjusting entries and closing has been done to the ledger.My first answer I answered with Trial Balance or Adjusted Trial Balance in mind, as stated above, Post Closing Trial Balance is filled out AFTER all expense, revenue, and other related accounts have been closed.
