QB Pro auto adding wrong state to new employee payroll profile

Hello there, @SESolutions. It's my goal to ensure you'll be able to add the correct state for your employees in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

QBDT provides a wide range of preferences and default settings that apply to all or most of your employees. Since only the DC state is being added to your employee's payroll information, it's possible that it's set as the default in your settings.

To rectify this, let's change the Taxes Defaults to None. Here's how:

1. Go to Edit, then Preferences.
2. Go to the Payroll & Employees section and click the Company Preferences tab.
3. Select Employee Defaults, then Taxes.
   
4. Click the State tab.
5. In the State dropdown, select None. 
6. Click OK.
