Hi, @nstins.

 

The current investigation (INV-50636) about accepting an invite to view your payroll information is still open and ongoing. Our engineering team is constantly working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

 

As a workaround, you can request a new invite from your employer, then open the email invitation using a private window. This browser prevents any virus infections that can cause unexpected behavior when using QuickBooks.

 

To save you time, use either of these keyboard shortcuts:

 

  • Google Chrome: Ctrl Shift N
  • Safari 11 or newer: ⌘ Shift N
  • Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl Shift P
  • Microsoft Edge: Ctrl Shift P

 

If you're able to add your information, I recommend going back to your original browser and clear its cache to start fresh.

 

Moreover, I suggest using another supported and up-to-date browser to narrow down the result.

 

Since you or your employer have already connected with our Support Team, rest assured you'll automatically receive email notifications of the updates. Or, feel free to visit our blog to stay current with the latest QuickBooks news and feature enhancements. Here's the link: The QuickBooks Blog.

Thank you for your swift reply, but I have tried these methods to no avail. I am using the most current version of google chrome on both my PC and Android phone and have tried to accept invites in incognito on both, as well as cleared the cache before opening an invite in a regular window. I received the same error message for each.

I suspect a lot of us are in this boat:  we only use our QB account once a year to get our tax forms from our clients/employers.  I stumbled on this just now.  Hope it helps.  I am going to try this and report back:

 

If it has been a year or more since the last time you logged in to the account you're trying to access, it’s possible that the original account details have been deleted due to the period of inactivity. You can contact support to check when the account was deleted.

If the account has been deleted, you’ll need to create a new account to access QuickBooks. You can still use the same user ID and password when setting up a new account.

Is this problem ever fixed? In 2023 I am facing the same problem. Probably contacted intuit 6-7 times spend more than 10 hours. One tech gave me case number and it went no where.

Amazing how this company operates. This is basic. I am using my personal email to access our business account (we are CPA Practice). Sometime I worry about privacy and exposure but I believe these complaints goes into deaf ears in Intuit.

The problem should not be that much complicated and seasoned engineer should be able to able to fix but this is all frustrating. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @2210018.

 

I want to make sure you're taken care of. May I know what specific error message you're getting every time you try to accept an invite from your employer? Are you trying to log in to your QuickBooks Online Payroll or Workforce account?

 

Additional details like screenshots can help me provide accurate solutions to resolve your hurdle while using QuickBooks Online Payroll/Workforce.

I appreciate you for joining this thread and adding a screenshot, drental. Let's perform some steps to fix the error and be able to accept the invite without hindrance.
 

To isolate this type of message, open the invite link in a private browser (incognito window). It helps us check if the browser is already full of frequently accessed page resources, causing unusual responses.

 

  • Press Ctrl Shift (Google Chrome)
  • Ctrl Shift (Firefox)
  • Control Option (Safari)

 

If it works, you can return to our default browser and clear the cache to refresh the system: Clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online. If it persists, try using other supported browsers: System requirements.

 

If you have any specific questions, need troubleshooting assistance, or seek general guidance, the Community is always available to ensure your QuickBooks experience is seamless. Feel free to share your inquiry, and I'll be prompt in assisting you.

This is pathetic. Stop suggesting people to clear their cache, use an incognito tab, etc. I've tried logging in to my boss's invite link on 5 different devices, all to get the same stupid error message:

 

there’s an issue on our end. we’re on it. there was an error during the invitation process. please try again.

 

Fix your site and create a better error message so people don't have to sit on hold for an hour waiting for customer support.
