401K/retirement questions...
 

1. Once I start making withdrawals after age 59.5, will my withdrawals be taxed at the normal income tax rate, or will it be taxed as a long-term capital gain?

2. Will the investment gains made in my 401K account after I'm age 59.5 continue to be tax deferred? Or is there a point that the gov't says, "Okay, no more tax deferred benefits for you" and start to not only tax my withdrawals but also make me pay taxes every year on the yearly gains on the account?

1. taxed at normal income tax rate... You take out 50k you are taxed at 50k

2A. Yes .... investments that are tax deffered stay tax deffered until used.

Note: I am not a financial planner or a tax accountant so I could be wrong.
