Users - tax calculation on order check out

Hello All:
I'm wondering why I get the following error when I try to checkout:

"The address(es) used for tax calculation did not have State/Province or
Country values set, so we cannot determine the taxes to charge. "

Some background:
1) I don't need to calculate taxes for this particular product (in the
Catalog MGR I specify no tax & no shipping charges - since its a digital
product)
2) I bypass the shipping address form in my checkout process (the
customers for this product don't need to have a shipping address, so I
shouldn't ask them for one.)

Seems like there's some kind of mandatory relationship set up between
the shipping address, tax calculation and the order creation process. Is
this the way it should work? I would think that the order process should
determine if tax calculations are even needed before it goes on to
create the order. BTW, if I put the shipping address form back in my
checkout process, then everything works fine - no error and the order is
created. Am I doing something wrong in setting up the product?

Any insight would be appreciated.
Ruth
