form 8283

Do I need to file form 8283 with my Federal taxes if I take the Standard Federal deduction?

I have approximately $9,000 worth of charitable donations that will reduce my State taxes, but not my Federal because they are less than the Federal Standard deduction.  I had the same situation last year and TT included the 8283 in my State filing, but not in my Federal filing. 

If I don't need form 8283 with my Federal then I can e-file it and then print & mail my state taxes including a completed form 8283.  Please advise.
