Hello there, Mary53.

 

Error 15420 occurs when QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) encounters issues while trying to update the program, download payroll or tax updates, or due to interference from your firewall/antivirus. Here’s how you can resolve it:

 

  1. Ensure QuickBooks Desktop is updated.
  2. Download the latest payroll tax table update for QBDT.
  3. Run QBDT as administrator.
  4. Check and adjust firewall or antivirus settings.
