You should enter all your deductions in case you can itemize on the state return.
If it's giving you the Standard Deduction and not showing you Schedule A you can check it 4 ways.
1. You can switch to Forms Mode and open A from the top of the left column Open Form and pick schedule A out of the list on the right side.
2. The easiest way is to go up to Show Topic List on the top bar (or Tools-Topic List) and scroll down the list to
Standard Deduction vs Itemized Deductions
That takes you directly to the
The Standard [or Itemized] Deduction is Right for You screen
3. You can check the actual amount of itemized deductions by going up to Search and type in
itemized deductions, choosing
Then click on Jump to itemized deductions
Click on "Change my deduction.
4. OR go up to Federal (Personal for H&B)
Deductions and Credits
Click on Done with Deductions at bottom
Continue on though 3 screens and you will get to the Standard Deduction is right for You screen
That will display the actual amount of itemized deductions vs. the standard deduction. (Be sure to uncheck "Change my deduction" after checking it so you do not lock in the wrong deduction.
