In 2018, itemizing deductions for state and local taxes (SALT) will be limited to $10,000. Actual SALT expenses for many downstate NY homeowners is much higher than $10,000. So, it's better to claim the Federal Standard Deduction of $12,000 (or $13,300 for seniors age 65 or more); and ideally itemize deductions on my NYS tax return.

Yes, for 2018 you will be able to itemize deductions on your New York tax return, even if you take the standard deduction on your federal return. This is covered in the 2018 instructions for Form IT-201, which are now available on the New York tax web site.
