Hello there,
@Keith000. I'll share some details about your situation so you can get rid of those deleted expenses from your Profit and Loss report in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Before we get to the solution, I'd like to share why the deleted expenses are still showing on your report. Please know that QBO is a program that values historical data. With that said, when you delete an expense account that contains a list of expenses you've made inside your company. It'll not completely delete the data. However, it'll only make it inactive. Also, this is how the application works and as designed. It's the main reason you're still seeing them inside your Profit and Loss report.
To get through this, you can customize and filter your report to reflect the data you'd like to see. I can input the steps below so you can proceed. Here's how:
- Access your QuickBooks Online company.
- On the left navigational bar, go to the Reports tab.
- Run the Profit and loss reports.
- Click the Customize button, and then go to the Filter section.
- In the Distribution Account, manually select the accounts that you'd like to appear in your report.
- Once done, press the Run report button.
