After updating my Desktop 2019, why did it stop calculating payroll taxes?

Welcome to the Community, BayAreaBooks.

The possible reason why payroll taxes stop calculating is that the tax table isn't updated, and the payroll item has reached the annual limit. To get this fixed, you'll have to make sure that your payroll taxable is up to date.

Here's how to download the latest tax table:

1. In your QuickBook Desktop, go to the Employees menu.
2. Select Get Payroll Updates, then click the Download entire payroll update radio button.
3. Hit the Download button.

Once done, a window will appear when the download is complete.

You can read this article for your reference: Get the Latest Payroll Tax Table Update.

To proceed, you'll have to delete and recreate the paycheck if you already created it. This way, we can check if the payroll taxes are now calculating.

However, if you haven't created it yet, you can revert the paycheck. Let me guide you how.

1. Go to the Employees menu, then select Payroll Center.
2. Click Resume Scheduled Payroll or Pay Employees.
3. Right-click employee's name that's highlighted in yellow.
4. Then, click Revert Paycheck.

Here's an article you can read on for more details: How to Save or Revert Pending Paychecks.

I did all the updates. Restarted computer. Closed/Opened QBs. No one had reached the maximum limits. The issue required QBs support to remotely fix the problem. Thank you for the reply.
