Deductions & credits

Btw, if you're itemizing, why wouldn't you want to put all your contributions on schedule A?  This year the $600 in contributions would be below the line, unlike last year, but I assume you probably are taking the standard for federal.  If you have the desktop version, you can go right to the form and change your state contribution to $1500 (which is always a good reason to get the desktop version).  If not, I would just send in the CA return the way it is and amend it.  That should be very easy and if your deduction is larger, you won't have to pay anything more.
