Welcome and thanks for visiting the Community, @mdelcarlo2-yahoo. I'll be your QuickBooks guide today.
It could be that you're experiencing a browser-related issue. Hence, the screen went black. To confirm, let's use a private or incognito window. Use these keyboard shortcut keys below:
- Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
- Internet Explorer: Ctrl + Shift + P
- Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
- Safari: Command + Option + P
Then, check your email again and accept your employer's invitation again. If you can enter all your information without a problem, go back to your main browser and start clearing its cache. That should fix it.
However, if you'll run into problems like an expired invitation, I'd suggest requesting another invite from your employer.
You can check out this article for further details: Invite a contractor to add their own tax info.
For future reference, here's a link with a thorough guide in filling out a W-9 and view your 1099-MISC in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
Get back to me if you have any other concerns. I'll be here to guide you some more.
