Glad to have you here on the Community page, @LauraGoldStandard.
Allow me to share additional insights about running reports in QuickBooks Online. There are lots of possible reasons why expenses aren't showing up in the Profit and Loss report. That said, there are also a few things we can do to troubleshoot the issue.

Next is the report's date. Make sure to set the correct date when opening the report to get the correct information.

As always, feel free to read our help articles as your future references while working with QuickBooks.
