Pacman asked:

Mother passed in Sept 05 (she was 61) and I’m the beneficiary on her 401K accts. Trying to determine the best route to avoid paying high taxes. In the short term, I am looking at possibly using some monies from the accts to help fund a new business. I’m in my mid-30s. What are my options?, how soon do I need to act?, and what is the best route to avoid paying a bunch of taxes?

      All withdrawals are taxable, included in your annual income from all sources.

      You will not be “required” to take “mandatory” withdrawals until you are 70 1/2. The amount will be based on your life expectancy at that time.
