Need to change my answer for whether I used standard or Itemized deduction last year--which determines if state refund is taxable. How can I get back to that question?

In response to the "did you itemize or use the standard deduction" question I entered "standard" in error. But when I go to edit the 2017 sate tax refund section, where the question had appeared, I can't get back to the question to change my answer. How can I edit that answer? 

The response is used to determine if the state tax refund is taxable for 2018, so I want to correct it.

You can edit your state and local tax refunds from 2017 in the following location: 

1.) Wages and Income

2.) Other Common Income

3.) Refunds Received for State/Local Tax Returns

When you get to this screen, your previous entries will be listed. Click edit next to the state you wish to update, and proceed through the screens until you get to the question asking if you itemized last year (please see screenshot).
