@eraginal The federal and state taxing authorities are different. It's the federal standard deduction that has almost doubled. I'm not familiar with CA taxes. But it makes sense that if your entered deductions aren't changing the federal refund monitor, the CA one may still be changing. You may be exceeding the standard deduction for CA and still be short of itemizing on the federal return.
