If I itemize federal deductions, do I need to itemize state deductions also?

Bought a home in NJ last year and I work in NY. I adjusted federal W4 and plan to itemize, but my NY State paperwork for adjusting my withholdings is asking if I plan to itemize. Do I have to? Do I need to? I'm assuming that all the mortgage interest/property taxes get credited on my NJ return. Can someone please advise??? Thank you!
