Why Does QuickBooks Error PS058 Appear After Payroll Update?

Several conditions can cause a payroll update to fail or remain incomplete.

1. Payroll Update Was Not Completed

Sometimes QuickBooks downloads an update but does not successfully apply all of its components. Repeating the payroll update can refresh the installation.

2. QuickBooks Desktop Is Outdated

Your QuickBooks Desktop program should also be updated separately from the payroll tax table. An outdated program can interfere with newer payroll components.

3. Payroll Subscription Issue

QuickBooks Desktop Payroll requires an active payroll subscription for tax-table updates. If the subscription or payroll service information is not properly recognized, the update may not complete.

4. Internet or Firewall Restrictions

Security software, firewall settings, or internet configuration can interfere with QuickBooks connecting to the services required for payroll updates. Intuit identifies firewall and security settings among the potential causes of payroll-update errors.

5. Damaged Update Components

Payroll update files or QuickBooks components can occasionally become damaged. Intuit recommends using QuickBooks Tool Hub's Quick Fix my Program for certain update-related problems.
