Hello there, djdiscomark.

We can try logging in to an incognito window to determine if it's a browser-related issue and import google maps mileage from there. If you haven't tried it yet, you can follow the shortcut keys below, depending on what browser you're using:

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

If it works, we can go back to our main browser and clear the cache. This is to start your data fresh and help QuickBooks to work well. Lastly, you can use other supported browsers like Mozilla, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Safari. For Safari, make sure to use the latest one.

Also, I'm adding the articles below for additional information about importing mileage within your account and fixing issues:

Thanks for the quick response! Tried importing via incognito in Chrome and then Edge and Firefox incognito too just for kicks. Same error. Also checked the zip file to confirm that there is in fact data for each month within the date range specified.

Other tips?

This issue is still happening. I wish there was a way to upload the JSON files directly.

This is not the impression we want you to experience when importing your trips from Google Timeline, Bluephantom.

The option to upload your trips from Google Timeline to the JSON files directly is unavailable. We need to use the Google Takeout link to import the trips. To learn more about this one, see the Import Google Timeline trips into QuickBooks Self-Employee (QBSE) article. Also, I've checked here on our and there's no reported case about this one.

If you already performed the steps provided by my colleague on this thread and to the Fix mileage tracking issues article, I'd suggest contacting our QBSE Customer Support Team. They'll pull up your account in a secure environment and investigate what's causing this issue. To ensure we address your concern, our representatives are available from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekdays and 6:00 AM - 3:00 PM on Saturdays, PST. See our support hours and types for more details about this one.

Feel free to visit our Help Article page for more insights about managing your business in QBSE.

I'd like to know how you get on after contacting our support as I want to ensure this is resolved for you. Just reply to this post and I'll get back to you. Have a great day ahead.

I'm having the same issues, with zero help from the online support team. I have tried different browsers, & even extracting the zipped files & trying to make links for those. All to no avail. Super not stoked on this service.
