Funny you should ask. This did resolve line 12b the error for me, but I've since submitted my own post about not being able to e-file because of yet another issue that turned out to be specific to e-filing Rhode Island (RI) tax returns.
RI's tax structure is relatively simple, and I don't have differences in deductions vs. my federal return. This "solution" will not work for people who take the standard deduction on their federal tax filings but take itemized deductions on their state tax filings. A real solution is needed, meaning the software programming needs to be corrected.
