E-Filer Attachment Form - Charitable Contributions

TurboTax told me to print  an additional form for my Colorado state taxes.  I did not itemize even though I listed donations on my federal form.  Turbo Tax recommended that I take the standard deduction.  Why am I required to send this form in with receipts to the state?  I reviewed the State forms and looked through the donations but there is nowhere to list qualifying charitable contributions and I do not see the donations anywhere on the state return.   Why am I required to send in DR 1778 E-Filer Attachment Form when I did not itemize?   

I filed the same way this year as I have in the past and was never required to submit this form with receipts.

E-Filer Attachment Form - Charitable Contributions

It's possible that although you aren't itemizing on your federal return, you are itemizing on the Colorado return. This is probably why the program is asking for a list of your receipts.  Colorado doesn't have Standard Deduction.

E-Filer Attachment Form - Charitable Contributions

As far as I know I have NEVER itemized my state return.  All of my information is carried over from the Federal return to the state return.  I fill out the charitable contriutions the same way every year and for the last several years for federal taxes and TurboTax has had me do the standard deductions.  I have never had to provide any further information for the state.  Is this a glitch in the software possibly?
