Best Answer

The withdrawal of cash itself is not taxable. You are taxed on capital gains within the account. If you sold a stock for $15 that you purchased for $10 your tax would be the capital gains rate* x $5 = ($15 selling price -$10 cost basis). Whether you withdraw that money or not the $5 is treated as income and is taxed.

* The Capital Gains rate depends upon the length of time you owned the stock. If you own the stock less than one year it is taxed at the short term rate. If you hold a stock longer than one year then you are taxed at the long term rate.
