QuickBooks Error PS038 usually occurs when users try to update payroll or send paychecks, but the system gets stuck in “Online to Send” status. This error prevents payroll processing and can delay important payments. To resolve it, first update QuickBooks Desktop to the latest release and verify your payroll subscription. You may also need to run the “Verify and Rebuild Data” tool to detect issues. If the error persists, deleting stuck paychecks and re-entering them may help.

How to call for help?
You can contact QuickBooks Payroll Support directly through the QuickBooks Help menu or official support number.
