I understand this was challenging for you, @svladydi. You have me on your back to solve this issue you encounter while altering your employee information to QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

The error that appears on your screen typically occurs when your subscription is inactive. However, if your current subscription is still active, you should follow some basic troubleshooting steps to address this error.

 

We can use an incognito window and sign in to your account there. If this option works, we can clear the cache from your regular browser.

 

Here are the shortcuts to incognito browsers:

 

  • Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Microsoft Edge: press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Firefox: press: Shift + CTRL + P

 

Furthermore, the cache can hamper and affect the functionality of QuickBooks and result in missing tabs and features, thus, clearing the cache to reduce issues that occur when using QuickBooks.

 

I'm here to help with any further questions you may have about QuickBooks or any other topic. Feel free to reach out whenever you need assistance. Take care!

No, I did clear my cache. Restarted my computer. Prior to this, I had 5 employees to update their middle name to blank. All but 2 were able to clear ok. the other 2 show this error. 

 

"Enter a positive annual maximum amount."
