Enter all of you itemized deductions on the federal return and TurboTax will transfer them to your state return. Take the standard deduction on your federal return and when you get to the state return, you will be given the option to itemize if your state allows it. But the itemized deductions still need to be entered on the federal return before preparing your state return.
You can e-file your returns separately, but if you file them separately, the federal has to be filed and accepted before you will be able to file your state return.
