Yes. Since you itemized on your federal tax return, you have the option of either itemizing or taking the standard deduction on your Maine state tax return. Please refer to page 4 of the Maine form instructions under the heading, "line 17 deduction" for additional information. http://www.maine.gov/revenue/forms/1040/2016/16_1040me_book_download.pdf
