No documents were uploaded. I just need "Subcategory January 2020" to show so that a user can upload documents to it. Sorry again if my post is confusing.

You don't upload documents to the sub-category. You tag the document with the correct sub-category.
You can create a sub-category folders within the Document Library and then apply default columns values to the sub-category using column using column default value settings.
