Last week, while updating payroll on QuickBooks Desktop 2023, I ran into a frustrating issue: QuickBooks Error 15243. The message simply stated that the payroll update had failed and something was wrong with the File Copy Service (FCS). I wasn’t sure what that meant, and unfortunately, the vague error stopped me from proceeding with any further payroll actions.

After a bit of digging, I learned that this error typically pops up when the QuickBooks File Copy Service is disabled or corrupted, or if incomplete payroll updates were previously attempted. It’s also sometimes linked to outdated tax tables or inconsistent software patching. You may contact me at https://aifreeforever.com/tools/riddles-answer/
