I had the same thought as well. But the State and the IRS are two separate entities for filing - and it isn't like I'm falsifying information. In fact, I'm opting to forfeit the charitable contribution on the state return. And for me, it didn't affect my state return and my Fed was already accepted. It did change my Fed tax liability, but it was negligible so frankly I don't care if I lost a bit of the deduction. I just want it to be done with.
