Serious help with my account

Whenever I sign into my account for Quickbooks Workforce to look at my payroll, it shows me a message "There's a problem on our end. We're on it." It has been 3 weeks and I still see the same message. I can't access my account or do anything every time I sign in. I have talked to multiple different support agents in many different areas and have been led to a dead end with no solution to my issue. I do not know what I can do, but I can't use my account at all. Could someone please help me fix this. Annotation.png

Hello, 

 

Has there been an update for this issue yet? It has been two weeks and I still see the same message. I have tried to contact the Quickbooks Desktop support team, but it is not possible because I get left at a blank screen every time. I have called multiple different agents all with no resolution to this issue. The support services has been confusing, unhelpful, and I am very unpleased with how this issue has been dealt with.

Thanks for coming back and bringing this one to our attention, Sj24.

 

I appreciate the time and effort you've spent with our support agents to get this sorted out. I'll personally share your feedback with our Customer Support Team about getting a blank screen every time reaching out to our support. We'll be able to take action on improving our customer service.

 

This is still an ongoing issue under INV-50636 where customers encounter the "There's an issue on our end. We're on it." error message when accessing the Workforce. Our engineers are still investigating to identify the root cause of this issue, so they can apply a permanent resolution. For now, we don't have a specific time frame for when is this going to be mitigated. Rest assured, this is being taken care of.

 

Since you've already contacted our Customer Support Team, they already added to the list of affected users. Rest assured, you'll receive an email notification once there's an update on this issue.

 

Feel free to visit our QuickBooks Help Article page for more insights about managing your business in your software.

 

We appreciate your patience in this matter. I'll also keep an eye on the issue and will get back to you if there's an update. You have a good one.

SOLUTION: If you are having the exact same issue, then follow these steps. This is how I fixed my account, hope it helps. 

1. Please go to accounts.intuit.com and sign in regularly using your username(full email address) and password.
2. Please go to the SIGN IN and SECURITY page and go to the USER ID portion and click on EDIT or click on the arrow just beside the USER ID and EDIT the username to something unique instead of the full email address. Enter the password you used to sign in to save the information.
3. Once done, open the invite email and click on the link "Get access to your paychecks"
4. Click on the CREATE ACCOUNT or SIGN UP and then enter or create a password and confirm then click on CREATE ACCOUNT and follow through with accessing the paychecks for the company. Please do not change the prefilled potion of the username with your full email address on it.

And this issue is still not fixed. Does Intuit not care enough about their customers?

This is still an issue. How has this not been fixed yet? It's been about four months at this point.

We're unable to provide a time-frame yet, beans9.

 

Our engineers are still working on a permanent fix to this issue. I'd highly suggest contacting them so you'll be added to the notification list. Updates are sent via email. You can use this link on how to contact our Phone Support Team: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/contact.

 

We'll surely notify once a fix is available. Thanks for your patience. Always know that you can post your questions here.

I understand the engineers have been working the past few months on a permanent fix.

Can you suggest any temporary solutions so that people can get paid? Or do you suggest not using QuickBooks if we want to receive our payment?

I appreciate you joining in this thread, VoyageProCo. I'd be pleased to share with you the workaround to fix this issue.

 

Since we are still investigating this unexpected behavior, you can follow the steps below as a way around.

 

  1. Go to accounts.intuit.com and sign in regularly using your username(full email address) and password.
  2. From there, go to the SIGN IN and SECURITY page and go to the USER ID portion and click on EDIT or click on the arrow just beside the USER ID and EDIT the username to something unique instead of the full email address. Enter the password you used to sign in to save the information.
  3. Once done, open the invite email and click on the link "Get access to your paychecks"
  4. Click on the CREATE ACCOUNT or SIGN UP and then enter or create a password and confirm then click on CREATE ACCOUNT and follow through with accessing the paychecks for the company. Please do not change the pre-filled option of the username with your full email address on it.

 

However, if you're still getting the same issue, I'd suggest getting in touch with our QuickBooks Support and have them attach your case to the ongoing investigation, so they can add your account information to the notification list. Any progress will be communicated via email.
