Federal taxes - no. State of NY - no. However, maybe you owe the state income taxes for 2017 for some other reason.
Read your notice. It tells you to file an appeal if you don't agree with it. So file the appeal. And look up taxing social security benefits for the state of NY. Attach a copy of what you find to your appeal.

Did you have other income in 2017?
