What does this mean? For the state that you claimed a credit for taxes paid, subtract that state's income tax amount that you claimed as an itemized deduction on your federal return.

That question shouldn't be relevant to you as you had no tax withheld for another state.  This questions refers to recalculating Hawaii itemized deductions. From the N-11 instructions:

Note: If you claim a credit for income taxes paid to other states and countries, you cannot also claim those amounts as an itemized deduction for state and foreign income taxes paid to another state or foreign country.

Note: Taxpayers can claim a deduction for state and local, and foreign, income, war profits, and excess profits taxes if their federal adjusted gross income is less than $100,000 and they are single or married filing separately; or less than $150,000 and they are a head of household; or less than $200,000 and they are married filing jointly or a qualifying widow(er).
