    You will have to pay Federal and NY state income tax on this distribution. There is also a 10% Federal early distribution penalty for taking the money out before age 59 1/2. There are some exceptions to the 10% penalty (but not the income tax itself), such as if you are permanently disabled or have medical deductions in excess of 7.5% of your adjusted gross income. Read more in IRS publication 575.
