Ok ... so now it is back to the last bullet point ... did you check and see if the standard gets you the same bottom line on the return as the itemized deduction ?    If so the program is saving you from having to add part or all of your state taxes as income next year since that is what happens when you itemize.   

How do I change from the standard deduction to itemized (or vice-versa)?
