My wife and I worked in separate states till about the same time. We then moved to a third state where we live now. How do we get rid of the error? It's highlighting that date we arrived in the new state as the error and that is the date the DOES NOT overlap.

Add a location and re-enter the MI dates so it shows up at the bottom and then you can go back and delete the original MI entry.
