Is the program that smart to give you the SD when itemized are not needed?
Yes for a couple of good reasons ... the first is that the state refund is not taxable next year if you don't itemize this year and the IRS can question/audit itemized deductions but can never question the standard deduction.
This is the same philosophy I use for the HOH vs Single argument ... if you get the same result with Single as you do with HOH then why give the IRS an opportunity to audit you ? They can question HOH but not single filing status.
