Hello, @DesktopUserSince2003. I understand you need your tax table to be updated so you can pay your employees accurately and on time.
The current payroll tax table version is "12234003" for QuickBooks Desktop 2024. It was released on December 18, 2025, and is effective from January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026.
Based on the version number you provided, the system is still using the 2025 rates and isn't seeing the new January 2026 update. To resolve this issue, we need to clear the local update cache and prompt the program to re-verify your subscription with Intuit's servers.
Please follow these steps:
- Close QuickBooks completely. Right-click the QuickBooks icon on your desktop and select Run as Administrator.
- Navigate to the Help menu and select Update QuickBooks Desktop.
- Go to the Update Now tab.
- Check the box for Reset Update.
- Select the Get Updates option. Once the process finishes, restart QuickBooks.
- Head to the Employees menu, select My Payroll Service, and click Send Usage Data.
- Finally, go to Employees, then Get Payroll Updates, and select Update.
Also, please double-check that your computer's date and time are set correctly for today's date, as an incorrect year can sometimes block the payroll server from delivering the new file.
