It seems, then, that the crash has something to do with the code in the report. Unless, that is, there is something in common with all your payroll data in your different company files that, somehow, other users don't commonly have.

Or, perhaps there is something different about the way QB Accountant Desktop 2022 returns the data, when compared to older QB versions.

Does the same thing happen if you try a sample data file? If you can make it happen in the sample data, then it's probably not related to your data. (Be sure to check the year/payroll dates for the payroll in the sample file and then match that when running the report.)
