For the past few years, we have noticed stark changes in the way accounting is done. And all thanks to the software by Intuit called QuickBooks. It is an accounting application which has many powerful features like managing finances and payroll, taking care of the inventory etc. Since this software has many benefits, most small and medium sized businesses are depending on it. The best part is that every year a new version of QuickBooks desktop is launched by Intuit with newer and better features.

Even though QuickBooks is an amazing application, it is not immune to any kind of error or technical glitches. One of the common issues faced by the users is QuickBooks error C=272 when they try to run the QuickBooks verify Data Utility or QuickBooks Rebuild Data Utility tool in the system. This error disrupts the work process and also causes delays and that’s why it needs to be resolved at the earliest. However, it is very important to understand the causes of the error to come up with the solution for the same.

Causes of QuickBooks error code C=272

• This error can happen due to data damage
• When you try to navigate a report or similar type of data
• It also happens when 1099 and W2 forms are printed
• Running a memorized report in your QuickBooks that was made in an earlier version was not converted in the proper manner.
• A simple way to fix the issue is by restarting QuickBooks and if the problem persists even after that then it might be the case of ‘damaged data’.
