There are two entries to record Depreciation Expense. Say we are depreciating a Truck
Debit Depreciation Expense - Equipment Truck
Credit Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment Truck
At the end of the Accounting Cycle when the books are closed Depreciation Expense will be closed out, Accumulated Depreciation will not be. It remains on the books as long as the item being depreciated is in use and still listed as an Asset.

Depreciation expense on the income statement represents the portion of the asset's cost that is allocated as an expense during the reporting period.

Thus, depreciation expense increases the accumulated depreciation balance on the balance sheet.
