Hello, @mary44.
The Task reminders will show if you have transactions or activities that need your attention such as payroll tax forms, payroll tax payments, recurring template reminders, and others. Let's first perform some troubleshooting steps to make sure that this is not browser-related.
- Sign in to your QuickBooks Online account using an incognito or private browser.
- Mozilla Firefox: press CTRL + Shift + P
- Internet Explorer: Press CTRL + Shift + P
- Safari: press Command + Shift + N
- Google Chrome, press CTRL + Shift +
- If it works, we can go back to a regular browser and clear its cache. The stored data in your browser’s history can cause some odd errors and may affect QuickBooks’ performance.
- Lastly, you can run the Browser Health Checkup Tool to check any issues with your browser’s health and its compatibility with QuickBooks Online.
