Desktop Payroll not updating

Hello there, @Hairgrl62. Let me help you get rid of that payroll service error.

To resolve this error, you'll need to update to the latest release of QuickBooks Desktop.

1. Open QuickBooks Desktop and go to the Help menu.

4. Click Get Updates to start the download.
5. Once done, accept the option to install the new release.

If it persists, probably, there are paychecks that you'll need to edit or delete. You can proceed to Step 2 and Step 3 outlined in this article: Resolve payroll error PS038. It provides clear and complete instructions on how to accomplish this process.

Then, run the Verify and Rebuild Data within your company file to fix the error and other issues you're experiencing in QBDT.

2. Select Utilities.
3. Click Verify Data. Then, select OK to close all windows.
4. Then, go back to the File menu.
5. Select Rebuild Data under Utilities.

I am having this problem this morning, for the first time.  I'm trying to do a payroll and I'm told to update my payroll.  I do so, it's 0%, and I'm told to go online again before 2/20/2022 -- today is 2/25/2022.  If I try to run my payroll, no taxes are being withheld, even though all employees are properly withheld in setup and always have been.  I do NOT have online payroll, so I don't have a way to "send payroll" or "send usage" to clear whatever might be jammed.  I have gotten all the system updates, run as administrator, and everything else I can find, but still no luck.
