We acknowledge how valuable your time is and how essential it is to invoice your customers seamlessly, Robin. Allow me to share some troubleshooting procedures to handle your situation.

To verify, are you using the app and getting the error notification from there? If so, kindly follow these troubleshooting procedures to isolate the issue:

Android devices:

1. Go to your device's Settings.
2. Navigate to Applications or Application Manager.
3. Select the QuickBooks Self-Employed app from the list.
4. Tap on Storage, then Clear Data.

iOS devices:

1. Navigate to your device's Settings.
2. Go to General, then iPhone Storage.
3. Choose the QuickBooks Self-Employed app from the list.
4. Tap the Offload app option.

If the problem persists, kindly update the app from your App Store or Google Play Store to narrow down the result.

However, if you're using the web version, I recommend accessing your QuickBooks account using a private browser. This offers an isolated surfing experience that restricts local data from being saved in your browser's system.

Kindly refer to the keyboard shortcut keys below to proceed:

• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

Once you can seamlessly generate the invoice using the private session, please revert to your regular browser and clear its cache and cookies. Doing so eliminates excessive data build-up that could cause functionality disruption in the platform. If the issue persists, you can utilize another supported browser.

Nevertheless, if the problem continues, I suggest contacting our Support Team. They have the tools to pull up your account securely, ensuring they can verify the root cause of this matter.

Additionally, you can manually track your sales taxes in QuickBooks. This way, you can review your accumulated sales tax values in the platform.

You can always drop by again to this thread once you have more questions about generating and managing your invoices in QuickBooks. Our team is always here to help you every step of the way.
