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.

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.
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?
