In a balance sheet, income is typically not recorded as a credit. Rather, income is typically recorded as a debit to the income statement and then transferred to the retained earnings account, which is a part of the equity section of the balance sheet.
The income statement is used to report a company's revenues, expenses, gains, and losses over a specific period of time, typically a quarter or a year. Revenues and gains increase the company's net income, while expenses and losses decrease it. Net income is then transferred to the retained earnings account, which represents the cumulative profits and losses of the company since its inception.
Retained earnings are considered part of the equity section of the balance sheet, which also includes the company's common stock, additional paid-in capital, and any other equity accounts. Equity represents the residual interest in the assets of the company after all liabilities have been paid.
So, to summarize, income is typically recorded as a debit in the income statement, which is then transferred to the retained earnings account in the equity section of the balance sheet. It is not recorded as a credit in the balance sheet.
