Information flows from the federal return to the state return----enter those deductions in your federal software so they will flow to the CA return.

California itemized deductions start with your federal Schedule A and then get adjusted on Schedule CA (540). The Franchise Tax Board explains that California itemized deductions include property taxes, mortgage interest, and charitable contributions, and that itemizing is separate from federal rules. 

To enter these in TurboTax, go to:

1. Go to federal>deductions and credits
2. When you are in this section, all these categories are covered here under medical, charitable contributions, property tax, and car registration fees.

After you enter these in your federal return, these will populate into your California return. Even if you are unable to itemize federally, you may be able to itemize on your California return because Federal and California deduction choices are completely independent of each other.
