Generally, your contributions aren't taxed (put in before taxes), and your withdrawals are taxed.

What's the difference between Roth and a 401K?

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.

Can you transfer your 401k to your bank?

Depends on your plan but you can opt out of your 401K at any time but you will pay taxes on the balance then pay a 10% penalty on the pre-tax amount. For example, if your balance is $10K, you will pay $1K penalty, then pay taxes on $10K which might be as high as $3000. So you end up with $6000 and probably won't be able to participate in the 401K plan for another year.


Convert 401k to roth 401k?

Not sure what you are asking, but generally you cannot simply convert your 401k to a Roth 401k, unless this is something your current company offers. If it is offered, then you would have to pay taxes on the amount that you rolled into a roth 401k, but would never pay any other tax on the gains or distributions.
