It hasn't worked for me either. All updated everywhere. I had to do the dummy check method just to get it done. I have many clients who had zero payroll that I will have to do this on. Not good on Intuits part!!!
Thanks for bringing this one to our attention, danielle8.
I appreciate you for updating QuickBooks Desktop, getting the latest payroll tax table update, and creating a dummy paycheck to get past the error message.

It is not true that the bug is fixed in the desktop version. It is not working on the QuickBooks desktop either.
Obviously this was changed by someone who knows nothing about payroll. I just am not sure how to file something that we cannot even generate.
That is not the only issue cropping up; in QB 2018 accountant, when trying to print or file the payroll tax returns the following error pops up:
ERROR BUILDING CACHE 11; CONTACT TECHNICAL SUPPORT
I spent about 2 hours with support to no avail.
We are able to run the payroll tax returns on another workstation for the same data file but with a QuickBooks 2018 which its payroll has not been updated!
Help!!
Let's resolve the error you're having when trying to print or file the payroll tax return, @alcompco.
You can try running the repair tool for QuickBooks Desktop. Running a repair on the program will repair the components and set it back to its default settings.
Before performing it, make sure to back up your QuickBooks Desktop company file. In case we've run into problems, you can use that one to restore your data. Here's how:
Check this article for more information: Repair your QuickBooks Desktop for Windows.
Also, make sure to have the QuickBooks Desktop release and downloaded the latest tax table release.

YOUR ANSWER IS A RUDIMENTARY ANSWER!! I have been a ProAdvisor for over 2 decades, yet you might think I would have done this simple task first before I wasted my time posting the problem to get an answer from somebody like you!!!
It does not work no matter what I have done!!! Clean Uninstall, Clean Install and the whole enchilada!! It does not work!! You have a problem with the your new payroll update or you have a compatibility bug with Windows 10.
Please if you want to help, go find out what the real reason is first and bring back the solution for all of us to use and fix the issue with Cache error.
I'm here to help ensure you're able to print or file your payroll tax returns, alcompco.
For QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) to function properly, you'll want to have the .NET 3.5 Framework enabled. By default, Windows 10 has this feature turned off.
To ensure it is enabled, you can follow the steps outlined below:
Also, you've mentioned above that this works on another workstation with an outdated tax table. Let's check if the Windows 10 version installed on the computer is compatible with QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Let me show you how:
Once you have the version number, check out which versions of Windows 10 are supported with QBDT:
If you have the latest version of Windows 10, upgrading QuickBooks to 2020 will fix the error.
If not, you can rollback to the recent version of Windows 10 by going through this link: How to restore your previous version of Windows. Don't forget to ask for help from an IT or computer professional before making any changes to your Windows Operating System.
Once everything is set, you can start printing or filing your tax return.
Let me know how this goes by leaving a comment below. I'm always have your back.
Your answers are ROBOTIC and nonsensical at best. We have been using Windows 10 for almost 5 years; do you not think that we already have the .Net framework enabled!!??? And I bet you if I told you what version of Windows we are running this on, you will come up with another nonsensical answer!!
Why do you not ask some real QuickBooks/Intuit engineer respond to this issue!! YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO BE GIVING AN ANSWER FOR THIS ISSUE!!!!!!
This is still happening for the fourth quarter. Is QB this incompetent? I have already updated my software so what's the deal here?
this is what comes up when click on forms, the file you specified cannot be opened make sure its not being used by another program or read only file
The window error was 'the file exists.

Hey there, @Skemper.
Thanks for joining the thread and taking advanced troubleshooting steps to address the issue.
There might be a data damage in your company file. This can be the reason why you're unable to open the 941 tax form. Let's run the Verify Data tool to identify the cause of this issue. Then, use the Rebuild Data tool to fix it.
Verify data
If you see a specific error message, there may already be an article for it. You can search our QuickBooks Desktop support site for specific instructions on how to fix it.
If you get this message "Your data has lost integrity," this indicates there is data damage in the file. Run the Rebuild Data tool to correct the problem.
Once done, try viewing again the Form 941. If you're still unable to open it, run the repair tool for QuickBooks Desktop for Windows. This tool can help fix common errors right away. This way, you can get back to your business.

the issue is that the Tax table didnt update properly the folders on the pc where the data resides. one fix we found was to go to a PC with QB on it, where you can successfully download the tax tables, and open the QB file . then go to C:\ProgramData\Intuit\QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions XX and copy folder PayrollForms , then go to Components and copy Components\Payroll, then go to Components\Download QBXX\ and copy Payrosub.ini and the Payroll folder. its advisable to rename the existing files before copying over. this issue happens frequently on terminal servers or networks with UAC turned on high.
