A composite return is filed so the partner(s) don't have to file the same state's return for themselves. So no double taxation.

But you can still claim a deduction of federal schedule A and a credit on your home state. The payment of the composite tax for the benefit of the partner is a draw on the 1065, not a tax deduction on the 1065.
