Why am I getting Error 15240 while updating my QuickBooks Payroll?
We pay our employees once a month using QuickBooks Payroll service for 18 employees. To ensure the right amount of taxes to be calculated on the paychecks. We cautiously update QuickBooks payroll to the latest tax table released a day prior to the payroll processing to avoid the glitches. I have tried to update 3-4 times but the Payroll Update Error 15240 occurs. I spoke to our IT person who occasionally visits our office premises or on-demand about the same. I shut the computer down and our wireless router for a minute and restarted them both as suggested. Even though the QuickBooks Error code 15240 with description “The payroll update did not complete successfully” still occurs. I have a breathing space till tomorrow afternoon to process the payroll before the deadline. I have tried all whatever I could find searching the internet and that didn’t help me get rid of QuickBooks Error 15240. Can someone share the information about the causes and resolution of Payroll Update Error Code 15240? Thanks, in anticipation.
