Inactivate a work location doesn't work and no one can seem to figure it out at QB payroll. Employee in CA termed in Dec 2024 and yet I continue to be charged for CA!

Our employee in CA termed in Dec 2024. I waited until final 2024 payroll tax reports were filed before asking QB to stop charging me for CA. I tried to inactivate the State but the system won't allow it, even though there has been no payroll in 2025. I submitted a case back in Feb and now 4 months later, I am still being charged for CA (payroll) and I still cannot activate the CA work location even though QB does my payroll and certainly knows there is not an employee in CA. The inactivate page even says no employees are assigned to this location. 4 months and no one in QB payroll can figure out how to inactivate a state that hasn't had an employee since 2024! And if the system worked correctly, I should be able to do this myself!
