While this is a popular prediction on Republican websites, the President has not made any such claim, nor said it was in his plans. He does want to raise taxes slightly on the wealthiest Americans, but rumors that he will tax all 401K plans are just that-- rumors.
A financial planner who specializes in tax planning is the best place to start. Companies such as Edward Jones can help you figure out how much to set aside in your 401K and how the investment will affect your taxes.
The difference between a Roth 401k and a regular 401k is that the Roth 401K is a after-tax contribution and the regular 401K is a pre-tax contribution. You pay taxes on the Roth 401K now in order to avoid taxes at withdrawal. The regular 401 is a tax credit for the year deposited with taxes paid at the time of withdrawal.
A good tax consequence of a 401k retirement plan is that you can literally save money as the funds that are ususally tax-free. If you withdraw from your 401k plan, there is usually a large penalty.
401k's are not tax-deductible in the normal sense of the word. However, since normal 401k contributions are made with pre-tax funds, taxable income is reduced. As taxable income is reduced, tax is then reduced as well.
A 401k and a IRA are different. A 401k is a employer sponsored plan while a IRA is not. A Roth grows tax free, while a 401k is taxed when you withdrawl the funds.
NO. The taxable amount of any distributions from your 401K will be added to all of your worldwide gross income and be subject to the federal income tax at your marginal tax rate. It will not make any difference what you use the funds for because the contributions amount to the 401K were NEVER subject to income tax in the year that they were made as a part of your deferred compensation plan.
The penalty is 10%. All in all you will pay your tax bracket + 10%. Actually that is incorrect. The question was about a 401k loan. There are no taxes on 401k loans unless you default on the loan. If the loan defaults then yes you would owe 10% penalty plus Federal and State taxes at tax time.
how others will about your tax matters i am not an tax officer to know it

A 401k rollover is an option that comes with very few tax consequences. If you setup the rollover incorrectly you could face tax liability that is unexpected.
No. They can tax it if you withdraw from it, but borrow no.
Before you rollover your 401k there are many things you need to be aware of. The biggest thing you should look in to is tax rules regarding your 401k. You will probably be able to draw from your account but you will also owe a sizeable amount of tax on the money when tax season comes around.
