You have not mentioned whether you are using standard deduction or itemizing deductions on your federal return.
No one in the user forum can see your information; we do not know what state you are in. There are some states in which you can use itemized deductions even if you use standard deduction on your federal return.
The following states allow you to itemize deductions on just the state return: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and Wisconsin.
Itemized deductions are entered on your federal return, and the information then flows to your state return. The software will follow the tax laws of your state regarding the deductions.
