Confused about retiring in New York State. Income taxes for a 60 year old retiree taking IRA distributions, and treatment of SS and pension income in the future.

I am planning on retiring now if I can due to health reasons. It is a bit sudden so my planning has been caught short.

I have money in the bank but may want to use some IRA distributions that are from rolled over employer 401K plans. I was originally considering PA due to PA not taxing retirement income, but I was talking to some folks and I learned NY State does not tax SS, and then learned they may also not tax 401k distributions? Also some pensions may be excluded up to $20,000, but that part is very confusing, my pensions will start at age 65, and are from two private companies.

My family is in NY so if I can I prefer to be in NY rather than PA, even if it is fairly close. A short drive is better than a 2 hour drive.

I've read about the Qualified Income Offset, never used it. How does the distinction between "reasonably expected" vs. "unexpected" distributions work in practice? Do you prepare projections of what is "expected" for the coming year, and then as each distribution occurs, decide if it was "expected"?
