This QuickBooks payroll error generally indicates that your copy of QuickBooks might have some broken files that need to be fixed. Try repairing QuickBooks Desktop via the installer or QuickBooks tool hub.

EXAMPLE 2 – QuickBooks Payroll Error – Value does not fall within the range
This QuickBooks payroll setup error can be quite confusing, but it is fairly easy to resolve. You may run into this issue if the entered value of a payroll item is higher than it should be. Check the employee setup and the payroll items for any changes or discrepancies that may be causing this issue. Even the change from cents to dollars or vice versa could be causing the issue.
The QuickBooks PayRoll Checkup can help you in finding the value of the item that does not come under the range. You can then update it to solve the problem.
EXAMPLE 3 – QuickBooks Payroll Error – the specified account already exits
In the Employee Centre, if you leave the name of the employee blank or if there are special characters or extra spaces between the characters, it will cause this error. It may happen while choosing the Print on Check option while filling in the employee name.
To solve this error,
- Select ‘Employee’ from the menu bar on the top and choose ‘Employee Centre’.
- Click on ‘View’, then select ‘All Employees’ from the drop-down menu.
Review this list of employee names and look for any unnecessary spaces. Enter the employee names manually if needed (both the First and Last names).
