State tax filing

I have entered the mortgage interest from the 1098 on the federal return.   When you start on the Alabama State Return, it will not allow you to put anything in the box for mortgage interest.  It has a zero there.

Will it hurt to apply it in the box below that states "Mortgage interest not reported on the 1098"

 

Once I processed the return on thru, on the itemized deductions section for Mortgage Interest it shows $0.
