Why does quickbooks self employed no longer work on chrome?

It gives me an "HTTP Status 400-bad request" banner on the top and the rest of the page is blank. It works on Safari as usual

Why does quickbooks self employed no longer work on chrome?

I'm glad it's working fine with Safari, @this1isfake2. Have you tried using the Incognito mode in Chrome? Allow me to share some details on why the error happens and provide solutions that will fix this quickly.

 

The HTTP Status 400-bad request occurs when:

 

  • Old cache and cookies interfere with online application features like QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).
  • Outdated Chrome browser.
  • Incorrect URL.

 

Before we start, let's ensure the Chrome application is up-to-date to resolve performance issues. Stale cache and cookies can interfere with the website's functionality, while Incognito mode allows you to prevent cookies and isolate the case if this is relevant to Chrome's cookies.

 

Also, I've logged in to QuickBooks Self-Employed using this URL without the error: https://selfemployed.intuit.com/home. Since we both have the opposite outcome, I suggest pressing Ctrl + Shift + N to activate the Incognito window in Chrome. From there, log in to QBSE using the URL that I provided and see if it works.

 

If the error doesn't show,  I suggest clearing your regular browser's cache to help the program run seamlessly. You can also use other devices and supported browsers as alternatives like Safari, which you've mentioned.

 

Another factor that could prevent QBSE from running are Chrome extensions. I also recommend checking them from your browser and disabling them.
