Are IRS Distributions taxable in NYS if taken before retirement age?

Hi!  I know this is a bit off topic, but I have a question re: Traditional IRA Distributions before retirement age.  I'm under 59 1/2 years old & I live in New York.  I know that Traditional IRA distributions are taxable on the Federal level along with a penalty for being under retirement age.  However, on the State level, specifically New York State, is there tax and a penalty due when you file?  I found out that up to $20,000 of retirement income is tax free in New York, but does that apply when you take a distribution before retirement age?  Feedback is appreciated!  Thanks!
