Yes, you are correct that your NY State Pension income is excluded from state tax. Be sure you indicated you had a New York State Pension when entering your 1099-R in the Federal section ('Where is this Distribution From?').
Previously, some users reported that their full pension amount plus 20K was being excluded on their New York return (creating a larger, incorrect refund).
