Why would changing between standard and itemized deductions for federal, effect my GA state refund amount?

[LordNelson]

Changing between standardized and itemized deductions for my federal return results in my state refund swinging from a small negative to a small positive amount

For Georgia , if you use standard deduction on your federal return, you must use the Georgia standard deduction on your Georgia return.

Georgia standard deductions:

? Single/Head of Household.............$4,600

? Married Filing Separate................. $3,000

? Married Filing Joint........................$6,000
