    Update Your QuickBooks Desktop:
    Ensure you are using the latest version of QuickBooks Desktop. If not, update to the latest release, as it may include bug fixes.

    Verify EIN:
    Double-check the Employer Identification Number (EIN) in your QuickBooks company file. It should be accurate and up-to-date. Make changes if necessary.

    Check Your Payroll Subscription:
    Verify that your payroll subscription is active and up to date. If not, you may need to renew it.

    Run Payroll Updates:
    Go to the Employees menu and select "Get Payroll Updates." This will ensure that you have the latest tax tables.

    Perform a Clean Install:
    If the issue persists, consider performing a clean installation of QuickBooks Desktop and your payroll software. Be sure to back up your data before doing this.
