There are several reasons why the error code 15270 is showing, Ellis.

 

Here are the following:

 

  • A missing file or component for payroll updates
  • A firewall setting that may block payroll updates in QuickBooks Desktop
  • Incorrect configuration of IE settings
  • Unable to verify digital signatures
  • The Shared Download drive was not mapped correctly
  • QuickBooks File Copy Service (FCS) is disabled

 

To resolve this, you'll need to download the updates as an administrator. Follow these steps to begin:

 

  1. Close your company files and QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Right-click on the QuickBooks Desktop icon, then select Run as Administrator.
  3. Click Yes on the message that says, "Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer?"
  4. Download the latest QuickBooks Desktop product updates.
  5. Download the latest payroll tax table update again.

 

If you have already updated as an administrator but the issue persists, please follow the steps in Solutions 2-4 in this article: Fix error message 15XXX when downloading payroll updates.
