Taxes

Thanks for reaching out to the Community about your concern, ncgross.

It’s my priority that you can export the tax form worksheets seamlessly. We’ll be performing some troubleshooting steps to fix this, which includes the following:

• Updating QuickBooks
• Checking the system requirements
• Repairing the Excel file.

To begin, download the latest QuickBooks release. This can help improve the overall performance of the software and fix known issues.

Here’s how:

1. Go to the Help menu at the top to choose Update QuickBooks Desktop.
2. Tap the Update Now tab to mark the box for Reset Update.
3. Click on the Get Updates button to remove the previously downloaded releases.
4. Hit OK to continue.
   
5. Once completed, close and reopen your QuickBooks to kick off the installation.

Next, try opening the tax form worksheet and export it. If you continue to get the same result, make sure your computer meets the program’s system requirements.

This will ensure the application is compatible with your setup and will help avoid unexpected behavior when using it. The following links provide detailed information about the system requirements for each QuickBooks version.

• System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2018 and Enterprise Solutions 18.0
• System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2019 and Enterprise Solutions 19.0
• System requirements for QuickBooks Desktop 2020 and Enterprise Solutions 20.0

However, if your version is compatible, repair Excel to fix the issue. The Repair an Office application link contains detailed instructions about the process. If none of these suggestions work, perform Steps 4-5 in the Repair an Office application article.

You can bookmark the Excel-based payroll reports article for future reference. It contains instructions on how to build the reports as well as information about each one. 

Let me know in the comment box if you need further assistance performing any of the troubleshooting steps. I’m here ready to help and make sure you’re taken care of. Have a good one.
