Welcome to the Community, @gwalker-upholste.
There are a few possible reasons why your expenses are not showing in the Profit and Loss (P&L) report in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Among these are the Date and the Accounting basis.
Ensure that you've selected the right date in the Report period section. Then, check if you're using a Cash or Accrual basis.
The difference between these two is how the date is determined for reporting the expense.
