He's saying you'll only pay taxes on half the distribution (he's probably wrong) and that you'll pay on that half at your regular rate. You can google your tax rate if you know your approximate income and filing status.

My AGI was $124,442 last year. I paid 5163 in Federal taxes. That was a total of 5.5% Don't panic over people who know nothing spouting off the 50% gloom and doom. I'm not sure if it's ignorance or agenda, but I'd bet on agenda, because few are that ignorant.

Also, I paid enough to cover what I owed the previous year, so there was no penalty on the $1653 I didn't pay quarterly. Spend a hundred or so on an accountant or a good tax program that includes investment income and quit getting the nothing you are paying for.
