The payroll feature is one of QuickBooks' most useful features for small and midsized businesses. By automating bi-weekly or monthly paychecks or crediting the employees' wages directly into their bank accounts, payroll automation saves a lot of time. QuickBooks Payroll handles state and federal tax forms as well as keeping previous records digitally. Intuit continues to improve these features with each update. If a user tries to install QuickBooks or update payroll with a corrupt Windows Installer, she gets the error 15106. The Quickbooks Update Error 15106 stops users from finishing their work, causing clients more confusion.
