This is also happening to me.  I have been with my employer for over a month and have no access to my paystubs or information.  

This is happening to me as well.  I have been with my employer over a month and am not able to access my paystubs or information.  Very frustrating. 

Thanks for joining in this thread, MPhillippi.

Kindly update me on how the calls go by adding another comment below. I want to make sure you're all set, and I'm here if you need further guidance. Have a great day! All the best.

I am not sure if this is a permanent fix yet, but we had this happen with one employee for the last few weeks. We revoked their online access in their settings, then resent them the activation link to reset their account info and it is now working.

Do you know if this has been a sustainable fix? Been with my employer over a year, no problems until about a month ago & now i just get the “we aren’t able to show you your payroll information. Please refresh your page” …which never works lol. Tried some Reddit fixes that I can do on my own. 

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Blahh123.

Let's go through some troubleshooting steps to get past the error. I'm here to assist and guide you through the process.

To begin, log in to QuickBooks Workforce using a browser other than Internet Explorer (IE). It's not supported for viewing paystubs or W-2s.

Aside from that, double-check your name to ensure there are no special characters. Then, log in to QuickBooks Workforce using another device.

If you get the same result, change your username and create a new Intuit account for the same email address. Here's how:

1. Go to https://accounts.intuit.com.
2. Sign in using existing username and password
3. Head to "username" area and click Edit.
4. Change the username (it must not be a full email address).
5. Open email invite.
6. Create an account using the email address as username.

If the problem persists, notify your employer and request a new invitation to QuickBooks Workforce using a different email address. However, if none of these alternative solutions work, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team to sign up to the list of affected users (INV-44024). You'll be notified via email once there's progress on the investigation, including the permanent fix.

I've added some resources on how to manage your employees' pay stubs, enable email reminders for new pay stubs, and answer frequently asked questions about the feature:

• Invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see pay stubs, W-2s, and more if you use QuickBooks...
• View your pay stubs, time off, and year-to-date pay in QuickBooks Workforce

If you need help with any payroll tasks, feel free to look through the Community guide. It includes answers and topics such as account management (for employees), processing tax payments, and filing tax forms, to name a few.

I appreciate your patience while working through this. Don't hesitate to visit the Community if you need further assistance while working in QuickBooks. I'll be glad to help you. Have a good one and stay safe.

Was you ever able to get it fixed?

I'm trying to set up my payment info for my new job and cannot get it to allow me into the site. It keeps saying "we weren't able to show your payroll info"

I haven't been able to enter my back account or tax info into the system yet bc of this. I was able to set my husband's up no problem bit mine is nothing but problems. 

I need to be able to get paid, it's so frustrating

What did you finally end up doing?

Yeah so frustrating looking at this thread from over a YEAR ago and seeing they still haven’t found any type of fix for it. So lazy. 

This solution probably won't apply to all situations, but for me, I was receiving the "we weren't able to show your payroll info" screen and it turns out that I was using the wrong email to sign in. Used the right one and boom, I can see my pay stub. The problem was that the notifications would go to my work email, but I had used my personal email to sign up for quickbooks through my company. Hope this helps!
