QuickBooks is a trusted accounting tool, but it isn’t free from occasional technical issues. One common problem users report is QuickBooks Error 248, which often interrupts payroll processes or company file backups. Although the error message may seem complicated, the underlying cause is usually straightforward, and the fix is equally manageable.

How to Fix QuickBooks Error 248

The most effective way to resolve this error is by adjusting payroll liabilities. Doing so corrects the extra or duplicate entries so QuickBooks no longer flags them as errors. Here’s the process:

1. In QuickBooks, open the Employees menu.
2. Choose Payroll Taxes and Liabilities, then click Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
3. Select the employee whose records need correction.
4. From the list of payroll items, pick the one that was overpaid or duplicated.
5. Enter a negative adjustment amount to offset the excess payment.
6. Save the changes and review your payroll records to ensure accuracy.
