If the returns are compared, there would be no discrepancy between the Federal 1040 and the State return because the Federal return would not contain Schedule A (where the itemized donations would be listed) since the taxpayer is using the Standard Deduction on the Federal Return.
You could also enter the CASH donations on the Federal Screen as "Items" if you are sure you are not over the limit for cash donations on your state return. The amount will flow to the state the same as if it were split between items and cash.
Entering donations as "Items" and not as cash also eliminates the error on the Federal return.
