When do you use $ signs in posting of t-accounts?

Question

I am doing t-accounts for my accounting class, when posting to t-accounts do you put in dollar signs or just type in the numbers. And do you use them every transaction or just the beginning and at the end?

Answer 1

i am an accountant, and when using t accounts there is really no need to use dollar signs. When you start to do financial statements you will use the dollar sign on the first and last line.

Answer 2

Im also taking accounting 1. My teacher never uses the $ sign. I don't think it really matters. Your teacher may require you to though.

Answer 3

i'm in accounting, and we never used the $ sign, but i think if you were supposed to it would be at the beginning because it would tell kind of money used in each transaction (as opposed to yen, euros, ect.)
