The program may be checking to be sure you aren't able to itemize. For example, if you are in a state that doesn't have income tax, you can deduct sales tax instead.
In some cases, you may be able to itemize on the state return even if you can't on the Federal return. If that could be the case, enter all of your itemizable deductions in the Federal return and the information will flow through to the state return.
See this article for more information about entering sales tax.
