It doesn't seem like the software is transferring my itemized deductions to my state return, why is that?

State itemization is drastically lower than my federal itemization.

State taxes paid/withheld are Federal income deductions (up to 10,000), but are not included in the state itemized deductions. Occasionally, some other items are limited, but it depends on what state is involved.

Thus, State taxes paid are credits on the state tax return, not state income deductions.
