What the IRS language says

Since the Negative State Income Tax Refund amount claimed on page 1 of your return is more than your standard deduction, we used this amount as an itemized deduction for State and Local Income Taxes on Schedule A, Itemized Deduction. If you have other itemized deductions in addition to the State Income Tax Refund, you should file Form 1040X (Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return), to reduce your tax.
