I know that there is a federal 10% penalty for an early IRA withdrawal; does Ohio also charge a penalty for an early IRA withdrawal?

As far as I know, California is the only state with its own penalty for early distributions from retirement accounts.  I've seen nothing to suggest that Ohio has such a penalty.
