In preparation for printing and mailing out my employees' W2 forms, I updated the mailing address of some seasonal employees who are living out-of-state. My business is in Minnesota and all of our operations are in-state. However, after changing those addresses in the Employee files, the two states where those employees are currently living (Oregon and Missouri) now show up in my payroll tax setup screen, and QB is prompting my to fill out tax ID numbers, UI account numbers, and tax rates for those states.

This doesn't make any sense. I do not operate in those states. I do not see any options to "Delete state" from my tax setup. QB will not let me proceed with any tax payments or returns until my tax setup is complete. The employment location for these employees is still listed as Minnesota.

As a test, I changed the employee address to something in Minnesota, and now that state disappears from the Tax Setup screen. But now the address for that employee is not correct.

So how do I include the accurate address for an employee without QB assuming that I also do business in that state?!
