Enahnce Payroll won't calculate taxes

The error indicates that you haven't submitted the payroll data yet.

Before you can continue to report your 1st Quarter taxes, please make sure to submit the payroll data first. Intuit will receive and process the payroll data to calculate the taxes.

Let me show you how to send payroll data:

1. From your Desktop menu, select Employees.
2. Choose Send Payroll Data.
3. In the Send/Receive Payroll Data window (you can review the following information by clicking the Items to Send).
4. Select Send All. Enter your Payroll Service PIN then select OK.
5. When the transmission is complete, you will return to the Send/Receive Data window. Under Items Received, select View to view important payroll messages or Confirmation Reports. While viewing the item, select Print to print the report or message.
6. Click Close to close the Send/Receive Data window.

If the issue persists, please contact our Payroll Support team to check the status and next charge date of your payroll. It is to ensure that the tax payment went through.

Here's how:

1. Go to QuickBooks and Press F1.
2. Click Contact Us.
3. Type your query and click Continue.
4. Choose to Start a chat/Get a callback.

For more details on sending and processing payroll data, you can refer to this article: Send payroll and direct deposit paychecks in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

To check if payroll was received by Intuit, here are the options to follow:

• A confirmation of payroll receipt is available to view as a report in the Items Received window.
• View the paychecks and payroll liability check in your QuickBooks bank register. If the liability check and paychecks have a green lightning bolt beside them, it was sent successfully.

Please feel free to leave a message if you have more questions. I'll keep my eyes on this post. Stay safe!

Clarification:  The Enhanced Payroll is on my desktop so there is no send/receive function for me to do.  When I go into Manager Service Key on the desktop, I get the screen indicating my Enhanced Payroll Service Key is Active.

Thanks for the clarification, @wtrender.

You'll want to log in to your CAMP's (Customer Account Maintenance Portal) and ensure your payroll subscription is active. 

If the issue persists, let's update your payroll tax table to the latest release to isolate this. Let me show you how in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT):

1. Go to the Employees menu.
2. Select Get Payroll Updates.
3. Click the Download Entire Update checkbox.
4. Select Download Latest Update.

Here's an article you use for reference: Get the latest payroll tax table update. This link provides detailed information in updating your payroll tax table.

Here is what I have done nuberous times:

1) Verified that my account for Enhanced Payroll is paid up, i.e. Active.  Note, the Credit Card was charged by Intuit automatically in February

2) Verified that the Service Key for the Desktop version of Enhanced Payroll is Active

3) Downloaded the latest Payroll updates

4) Removed and re-installed the service key for Enhanced Payroll on the Desktop.  Did this just once and then ran through Payroll Setup.

Still getting the same error message.
