If I claim my Chritable donation ( church giving) on my federal do I also claim it in state?

If I claim my Charitable donation ( donations made to church) on my federal form, do I also claim it on my state form? If not on both which should I claim it in?

You will enter the charitable donations in your federal return in the "Deductions and Credit" section.  If you claim charitable donations on your federal return then the donations are transferred over to your state return (if you state allows for charitable deductions).
