Let's go through some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue of invoices being automatically marked as paid when created, Steph.
To start, I recommend clearing your browser’s cache to remove any excess data that might be affecting the performance of QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), such as displaying the wrong invoice status.
If the status still shows as paid, consider using a different browser to determine if the issue is browser-related .
