When attempting to update payroll, QuickBooks Error PS038 appears, frequently as a result of payrolls becoming trapped in the system. It stops users from receiving updates and sending payroll data. In order to fix it, you must update QuickBooks Desktop, make sure the most recent payroll tax table is installed, then confirm and remove any frozen paychecks.
