Actions to prevent issues during QuickBooks Desktop tax table update

Interruption during the QB payroll is also possible due to external factors other than QuickBooks. You must apply the following techniques as preventive measures to avoid issues during the QB payroll update-

Solution 1- Check the service key in QB and ensure the payroll subscription is active

QuickBooks payroll issues mainly develop due to an expired subscription to the service or an incorrect service key entered into the software. You must renew the payroll subscription in the assigned date and prevent billing issues at the time of payment. If you aren’t subscribed to the payroll service, you won’t be able to use the payroll tasks in the software, let alone the service updates. We advise you to apply the following steps to check the status of the payroll service and enter the correct service key-

• Open your QuickBooks and go to its Employees menu.
• Tap Manage Payroll service in the drop-down list and click the My Payroll service option.
  
• Sign in to the Customer Account Management Portal (CAMPS) using your admin credentials and check that your service name is correct.
  
• Tap Edit to check and re-enter your service key if it is incorrect.
  
• If the service status is Cancelled, click the Resubscribe option and follow the instructions on the screen to re-activate the service.
  

If the payroll update still suffers due to issues, move to the next solution.

Solution 2- Run QBDT in single-user mode during the payroll update

QuickBooks can also fail to download the payroll updates if the software runs in multi-user mode during the process. You must check that the shared download location is entered correctly and apply the following steps to switch the software to single-user mode-

• Launch your QuickBooks and access the File menu at the top.
• Click the Utilities option and tap Stop hosting multi-user access.
  
• Reboot QBDT and download the tax table updates again.
