One advantage of reporting all itemized deductions is that the state standard deduction might be lower than your itemized deductions so you could file with the standard deduction on federal and itemized on state if your state has an income tax.

No.

TurboTax will automatically choose the standard deduction for you if you do not enter itemized deductions.
