It depends on which state you are filing. 

You may enter your itemized deductions on the federal return even if you are taking the Standard deduction. 

When you start your State return, the deductions you entered will flow to the state return and also the program should alert you to any additional entries you may make. 

If you have a specific question about a specific state, please post a new question and include the state you'll be working on.
