I'll work with you to resolve the error you've encountered when upgrading your Intuit account online, @a-m-maintenances. This way, you can switch from the QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) version to an online account (QuickBooks Online (QBO)) to keep up with payroll and pay your employees on time.
This upgrading error can sometimes be caused by the browser's overtime collection of data from frequent page visits. To isolate this matter, you can perform some troubleshooting steps.
You can start by pulling up your QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) account using a private browser (incognito). Here's how:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + N (Google Chrome)
- Ctrl + Shift + P (Firefox)
- Control + Option + P (Safari)
Once signed in, you'll first have to make sure you save your financial reports for future use. Then, go to the Gear icon and select Billing info to move your data to QBO. For the step-by-step guide, please refer to this article: Switch from QuickBooks Self-Employed to QuickBooks Online.
If you're able to do so, return to your default browser and clear its cache (the linked article also works for QBSE). This will refresh the system and remove older data that causes viewing and performances issue. However, if this matter continues, I'd recommend using other supported browsers.
