How to offset accumulated depreciation in liabilities column

Example:  Started year with $100 in assets.  Bought car for business, cost $35000.  Want to take max depreciation deduction of $17,100, leaving assets totaling $18,000.

Business owes $30,000. No equity in business - it's an all-cash service business, so no goods sold, etc.  Simply using profit of business as additional income.

Assets of $18,000, liabilities of $30,000.  In order to make balance sheet balance, how do I account for the $12,000 difference?  Thanks very much for any help you can provide.
