"There is an issue on our end. We're on it."

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.  

Thanks for getting back to us, @nstins.

Since you're still getting the same error message after performing the steps provided above, I'd recommend having your employer reach out to our phone support.

Was there ever a resolution to this issue? I am getting the same error when I try to accept an invite from my employer.

Hello there, @kkambo.

This is not the experience I want for you. No worries, I'll make sure to take care of this as soon as possible.

We are now conducting an investigation into this issue. I'd like to let you know that our engineering team is already working on a solution to the error that you're getting when accepting the invitation.

As an initial workaround, you can change your User ID by following the steps below:

1. Go to https://accounts.intuit.com/index.html.
2. Sign in with your email address and password.
3. Click EDIT on the user ID (change the user ID into something else other than the email).
4. Verify your password to save your changes.

Once done, you can request a new invite from your employer. Then, proceed to the steps below to accept it again.

1. Receive a new email invitation from the employer.
2. Open the new email invite and click on Get access to paychecks button.
3. Create an account with the email address and password.
4. Click on the Continue to (name of the company) button.

If the issue still persists, you can reach out to QuickBooks Online Support. This way, you'll be included in the list of users who are affected. Also, you'll be alerted of any updates through email. Rest assured, we'll be posting updates you can check here.

I've also attached an article that you can use if you need to view your paychecks and W-2s in QuickBooks.

You can always visit the Community if you have more concerns about your paycheck. We're always willing to help. Have a great day.

Did any of you get a response to correcting this?  I am having the same issues with my staff and it's exhausting. 

Hi there, @In5. 

Thanks for taking the time to follow along with the thread and letting us know you're also experiencing this issue. 

The investigation (50636) has been closed as resolved by our engineering team. The workaround provided by my colleague, JamaciaA, is the right steps to take when getting this error message resolved. 

However, if you've taken these steps and you're still continuing to receive the error, I recommend contacting our Technical Support Team. This way, one of our tech agents can review your account in a secure environment and if needed, send this to our engineers for further review. 

You can use the link I've included below to connect with an agent.

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 @Anonymous.

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.

Please comment below. I'm always here to help.

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 + N (Google Chrome)
• Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox)
• Control + Option + P (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.
