My balance sheet on Schedule L is not matching

This is the first time I've had to do the balance sheet on my taxes. My revenue was about $240,000 for 2019 and $260,000 for 2020.

 

The numbers of the left are for the beginning of the year and the numbers on the right are for the end of the year.

 

Assets

Cash $30,140 - $45,231

Inventories $3,305 -$4,398

Buildings and other depreciable assets $47,108 - $58,383

Less accumulated depreciation $41,892 - $44,358

Total assets $38,661 - $63,654

 

Liabilities

Mortgages, notes, bonds payable in 1 year or more $50,938 - $41,205

Capital stock 100 - 100

Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $51,038 - $49,221

Balance sheet out of balance by -$12,377 - $14,433

 

The -$12,377 is a negative number. All the other numbers are positive. 

 

In retained earnings reconciliation the number is $7,916. If I put a different number the software will say it is not in balance. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

But what's the question? That's how you reconcile the balance sheet.

My question is how do I make the two numbers match at the bottom of the balance sheet?

Turbo Tax software wants the numbers to match it seems. I have never done this before in Turbo Tax. It is my first time.

I'd say RE is your solution there.
