The rest snipped
My recollection (1994 time frame) was that after tax money in a 401k
(but not the gains there on) can be withdrawn first without tax
consequence but once the 401k was rolled in to an IRA the after tax
dollars was treated like any other after tax contribution.
Sorry but I can't cite chapter and verse.
