You would add up both columns on the T account and put the highest figure as the total for BOTH columns. Then in the column which was less you add a balancing figure call Balance Carried Forward to make that column match the other.
Below the totals you would put Balance Brought Foward which is the same as the balance carried forward but it should go on the other side.
You then list all the Balance Brought Fowards figures, keeping them in their debit or credit side. That list becomes the trial balance.

Why not use the trial balance to report financial information internally and externally?
The trial balance is a list of all T-accounts with a balance. That means that permanent T-accounts (assets, liability and equity T-accounts) and temporary T-accounts (dividends, expenses and revenues) are included. Reporting the trial balance would mean that the readers (internally and externally) would have to separate the permanent and temporary T-accounts themselves in order to make the balance sheet (info on financial statement) and income statement (info on performance).
What is listed on a trial balance?
Answer:The trial balance shows a list of all T-accounts with a balance. These include all permanent T-accounts (will make up the balance sheet) and all temporary T-accounts (expenses, revenues and dividends/withdrawals). Each T-account has either a debit balance or a credit balance. The sum of all debit and credit balances must be equal; in case it isn't equal, some journal entry has not been updated correctly on the T-accounts.
Why the trial balance may not balance?
Answer:The purpose of the trial balance is (historically) to verify if any errors were made with posting the journal entries to the ledger. Every journal entry makes debits and credits to (at least) two T-accounts, where the total of the debit and credit amounts need to be equal. The journal entry is posted to the journal, and the T-accounts affected are updated in the ledger. The trial balance is a list of all T-accounts and their balances. As the underlying journal entries need to balance out (total debits equal total credits), the balances of the trial balance also need to balance. If this is not the case, it means that an error has been made. It means that some journal entry has been entered into the ledger which did not balance.With computerized bookkeeping, this purpose (checking for errors) has been lost (at least for the user, the software may still use the trial balance to check for consistency).
Does the debit and credit sides of a T-Account have to balance?
The debits and credits for ALL the T-Accounts must balance - if you had the same debits and credits to each T-Account, your trial balance would be all zeros. If you take all the T-Accounts you've used in making your journal entry(s) and add them up, if the total debits and total credits don't agree you're missing part of an entry.
