Hi there, LRIESBERG.
Welcome back to the QuickBooks Community, LRIESBERG. I appreciate you for performing some troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue. Also, this isn't the kind of impression that I'd like you to have while using the QuickBooks software. With this, I'll provide instructions to ensure you'll be able to sort out the error PS033 you've received.
When downloading a payroll update or opening a company file, you'll usually receive "QuickBooks can't read your payroll setup files. [Error PS033]" and Error PS033 is caused by a damaged file in the CPS folder. Then, this issue won't affect any of your company's data. To start resolving this behavior, you can download the latest payroll tax table if you haven't performed this yet. This is to ensure that your payroll data are up to date.
Here's how:
