@MHO_dk You should deal with it in the same manner you deal with all of their 'Required Info' tab; pick a state so that it allows you to create the employee, and then go back in and change it to None.
It'll still fuss at you to enter the state in, much like it does the date of birth, but it will give you a 'Maybe later' option in addition to 'Add now'.
They're just data mining, and doing a very bad job of it. This workaround has worked for every QBDT iteration up to '23, except in the case of newly created companies, because they're just as bad at writing code as they are at stealing information.
Please let me know if it still works in '24; I haven't bought that version yet.
