CA has a long history of not conforming to the IRC.  For the most part, deductions that are allowed on both federal and CA, albeit to different extent, generally do not require separate entries and differences would be accounted for on Sch CA(540).

Specific entries for CA, nevertheless, may be required for deductions that are allowed for only CA but not for federal - haven't looked at the setup in Lacerte this year but deductions such as qualified moving expenses (for civilians), foreign real estate taxes, and misc I/D could be among those.
