Payroll error message "Payroll service and support for QB Desktop 17 will be discontinued May 31, 2020"

We are getting this error message when doing payroll- Does anyone know how to proceed with this or know how to update our payroll service? Our Quickbooks account has already been renewed so we're confused as to why this is happening.
