As previously mentioned by others, removing the Itemized deductions from the Federal return will also remove them from the AZ state tax return, resulting in a tax increase there. AZ automatically uses itemized deductions if you have them, for most State returns, even if the federal return is using the standard deduction. This would then require a different fix for the state return as the state return lists the federal charitable deductions shown on schedule A .
I will try this later to see if the state form can accept and list separate charitable deductions than the Federal return. But it is still a program bug that should be fixed by Intuit.
