Deductions & credits

I'm not sure why that number would be negative. You can only deduct up to $10,000 of state and local taxes on your federal return, that is why you see reference to the amount of state taxes over $10,000. Since that amount is negative, it probably means your state and local tax itemized deduction is not limited by the $10,000 threshold.
