Interest on series ee bonds is deductible in Ohio. Where do I enter the deduction on the State return?

The State return on turbo tax has a line for miscellaneous Federal deductions, but no place to enter the amount?  Where and how is the deduction entered?

You do not enter it in the state interview. TurboTax picks it up from box 3 of the 1099-INT and automatically deducts it on the state return.
The deduction will be shown on  line 18 of Ohio Schedule A

Savings Bonds are not income on the state return.

 It was not transferred to income on the State return (as long as you correctly reported it as Saving Bond income on the Federal return).  Due to it not being income on the State return, there is no deduction for something that was never reported as income. 

The interest  that your  savings bonds  earned is subject to:  

federal income tax, but not to state or local income tax.
