State tax filing

I would expect turbotax can simply make that one of the walkthrough questions. "Hey, I see you owed $1000 in state taxes last year, let me walk you through to see if that can change your deductible". Like they do it for other imported items. 

My friend used H&R block and his numbers were different which made me realize something is not right with my tax returns. If H&R block can handle this correctly, then why can't turbotax? What is the difference between the two calculations? How do I make turbotax account for this tax paid?
