It is a standard 401k that I converted some of my company stock shares into a Roth IRA. I was just under the impression that I would not have to pay taxes on it unless I pulled it out and that I could pull all or some of it out if I wanted to.

To summarize I think I fricked myself and will owe money for the first time ever.

With a traditional IRA or 401, you pay taxes when you withdraw but pay no tax when you contribute.

With a Roth it's the other way around - pay tax when you contribute, pay no tax when you withdraw.

To simplify things a bit it doesn't really matter much either way.
