If I take the standard deduction on my federal return can I itemize for my Oregon
return? Oregon instructions say I can but is it against the Federal rules ?

Yes, you can use the standard deduction on your Federal return but itemize on your Oregon state return.
There is nothing in the Federal tax laws that say you must use the same deductions on your Federal and state returns. It is governed by each state instead.
Be sure to enter all of your deductions as you go through the Federal section of your return in order to maximize your state deductions when the information transfers to your state return.
It is not a 3 year old question if it is a software issue.
