Any specific concern?

There is no QB Desktop 2025. They will still support QB Desktop 2024 until 2027.

Normally when payroll updates come around it was a must to update to the newest version.  How will that work come end of june when new payroll updates come around

I use Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise.  Every year we have to update to the latest version (ie 2025) by June 30th in order for payroll to function starting July 1st.  Is that not the case this year since there is no 2025 version? 

Don't forget to keep your release version updated. They will be releasing patches periodically until 2027.

so if i keep my release version 2024 updated i will not have any issues with payroll come July 1st? 

Yes, you'll need to have the latest R14_28 version and security updates available for your QBDT 2024 account to avoid in-product issues, Phil.

In regards to your payroll, effective January 1, 2025, the current payroll tax table version of your desktop 2024 is 12034003. Please ensure to have it updated to prevent any errors or discrepancies in your payroll account.

If you haven't yet, here's how to download the latest payroll update:

1. In your QBDT account, select Update QuickBooks Desktop from the Help menu.
2. Click on the Update Now tab and choose Get Updates.
3. Select File, then Exit.
4. Once done, restart your QuickBooks Desktop.

With this, I'm including this reference to guide you in setting up scheduled payroll to pay employees: Create and run your payroll.

I'll be on this thread anytime you have additional queries managing latest updates and payroll in your account.

Thanks!

I've tried doing an update on my quick books pro 2024 desktop but I keep getting an error message.  Three times I have tried 

Let's get your QuickBooks Desktop 2024 update completed for you, Mary.

The update error message you encountered could happen due to corrupted or improperly modified installation files, issues with the config.msi folder, or conflicts within your Windows system.

To resolve this, I recommend uninstalling and then reinstalling your QBDT app. This process will allow the program to rename essential QuickBooks folders and fix company file issues. Rest assured, your data will remain completely safe and unaffected.

Before proceeding, please have your QuickBooks license number handy and download the installer for your specific QuickBooks Desktop version to ensure a smooth reinstall. You can get your license number from your account management portal.

Here's how to uninstall it:

1. Search for Control Panel from the Windows Start menu and open it.
2. Select Programs and Features or Uninstall a Program.
3. Choose the QBDT version you want to remove from the list of programs.
4. Select Uninstall. 

If you don’t see the Uninstall option, please sign out and sign back into Windows using an account with administrator rights, then try again.

After uninstalling, proceed with reinstalling it using the installer you downloaded. During installation, QuickBooks will automatically create new installation folders and rename the old ones to prevent conflicts.

Alternatively, you can manually uninstall it and rename the installation folders before reinstalling, as detailed in Solution 2 of the Reinstall QuickBooks Desktop article. This clean install process helps resolve corrupted files and ensures a fresh, error-free installation.

If the issue persists, I suggest running the Quick Fix My Program tool from the QuickBooks Tool Hub. This tool can quickly repair common program issues that cause the update error.

I've included this article to help you explore the accessibility features and display reader support that make QuickBooks easier for you: Accessibility features in QBDT.

We'll keep this thread open for future questions or concerns about updating your program or any other tasks in QBDT.
