These are common error messages that you could encounter when Certified Payroll Solution attempts to connect to your QuickBooks company data file.  These messages would occur after you have chosen Run -> Certified Payroll -> entered dates, and then clicked on the Next button.

 

Unsupported version of QuickBooks detected - program ending, OR 11 is an unsupported version, OR 12, etc. is an unsupported version.

An "Unsupported version" message indicates that you have upgraded to a new version of QuickBooks without installing the necessary Certified Payroll Solution compatibility update.  Compatibility updateds are required in order for Certified Payroll Solution to be able to "talk to and work with" the new QuickBooks version.

We make these compatibility updates available to you, and we notify you via email, usually on the same day that the new version of QuickBooks is available for purchase.
