Thank you but neither of the suggestions is true.  The employee is meeting the taxable wage base and is set up to have the usual Federal and State withholding.  Last month worked fine. The month before I had this same problem.  Every time I select "Pay Employees" I get the message to upgrade the payroll package.  I'm using the latest version and when I upgrade anyway, I'm told to upgrade again by Nov. 26th.  Nov. 26th was yesterday!  It seems like a problem with the QB or the Enhanced Payroll program.  I'm using QB Pro 2020 desktop.
