Running into issues while trying to update your payroll tax tables in QuickBooks? You’re not the only one — and don’t worry, it’s fixable.
These updates are essential because they ensure your employees are paid correctly and your taxes are calculated accurately. When an error pops up, it can delay payroll, mess with your tax filings, or even result in IRS penalties if left unresolved. That’s the last thing any business owner wants.
What’s Causing the Problem?
There are a few common reasons why your payroll tax table update might fail in QuickBooks:
Your payroll subscription isn’t active
The QuickBooks software is outdated
Files inside QuickBooks are damaged or corrupted
Internet/firewall settings are blocking the update
The update download was incomplete
You’re seeing common error codes like PS077, PS032, PS107, or just a vague message saying “Failed to install payroll update”
Try These Steps First

- Check your payroll subscription status
