I am not an expert on the Kansas return, but it seems that in order to Itemize on the K-40, (and claim charitable contributions) you need to Itemize on your Federal return.
If you want to take the 300/600 charity contribution, you must take the Standard Deduction and not Itemize.
However, you may be asking about the Kansas Community Service Contribution Credit K-60.
For a work-around you can enter the donations under Deductions & Credits but as a non-cash item.
It is a bit cumbersome, but the result will be the same, the entry won't interfere with the 600 Charity Contribution.
You would need to enter the amount as "Items" and name the charity.
Select "I'll value them"
Enter the date
Select "Other personal property"
Type CASH as the description and the amount
Enter the Purchase as the same as the amount donated, Type Various as Date Acquired and Select Purchase as How Acquired
This information goes to a TurboTax worksheet and is not transmitted with your tax returns.
Keep the information about the donations with your tax file.
This should allow you to carry an amount over to your state return
