At the point in the program where TurboTax recommends whether it is best for you to use the standard deduction or itemized deductions, your state return has not even been started. the recommendation is based solely on your Federal return.
Additionally, many state tax situations can be complicated with multiple states involved and multiple options with regard to whether a state even allows itemized deductions. It is just not feasible to write a program to test every possible combination and scenario to make recommendations for the best overall total outcome. Perhaps it will be considered in future versions of the program.
