Being able to track labor costs is indeed important and I understand how you would want to show it in your report, @TMoore.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), projects don’t directly link with the total item cost and the labor cost. This feature is primarily used to track the expense accounts for a project, rather than associating labor costs with specific items.

Based on your recording preference, I recommend consulting with your accountant. They can provide guidance on the best approach and may suggest an application to help track labor costs tied to individual items.

On the other hand, you can check this resource for guidance on customizing your reports to access the specific information you need: Customize reports in QBO.
