I am preparing a trial balance for the middle of the month, and several accounts have zero balances. Mostly temporary accounts like expenses. Should these be included on the trial balance? Thanks a lot,

Theoretically I would say "no". The purpose of a trial balance is to "see what happened" and analyze for errors. We don't need to see what "didn't happen but could have". :) Too many zeros and data redundancy would piss of the IT dept. and convolute the report.
