QuickBooks Error 557 occurs when updating payroll, often due to an inactive payroll subscription or outdated software. To resolve it, ensure your payroll subscription is active by logging into your Intuit account and checking the subscription status. Update QuickBooks Desktop by going to the Help menu, selecting Update QuickBooks Desktop, and downloading the latest updates. Verify the service key in Employees > My Payroll Service > Manage Service Key and ensure it matches the one provided by Intuit. If the error persists, use the QuickBooks Tool Hub to run Quick Fix My Program or delete the EntitlementDataStore.ecml file, then restart QuickBooks and re-register the product. If issues continue, contact QuickBooks Support for further assistance.
