Says I need to reactivate my payroll subscription & it's already updated when I log in. Won't figure any taxes now. What do I do?

You've got me here to today to help and ensure your taxes are calculating accurately, Brette.

You may need to refresh or re-validate your payroll service key to synchronize the update.

Here's how:

1. Click Employees at the top menu bar.
2. Select My Payroll Service and choose Manage Service Key.
3. In QuickBooks Service Keys window, click Edit at the bottom.
4. Hit Next.
5. Click Finish.
6. When the Payroll Update message appears, select OK.
7. Verify the Service Status shows Active and then select OK.

If the employees are highlighted in yellow after the update, let's try to revert the paychecks. Let me show you how:

1. Click the Employees tab at the top menu bar.
2. Select Payroll Center.
3. Click Resume Scheduled Payroll.
4. Right-click the name of the employee and select Revert Paycheck. 
5. Click Open Paycheck Detail.
6. Enter the necessary information.
7. Check if it calculates the Paid Family and Medical Leave premiums.
8. Click Save & Close.
