It is still a form of "income" for you, so it is taxable.

As long as there is no constructive use, you don't pay anything on it. Direct rollovers are not taxed until you withdrawal. My hustand has had many jobs and has rolled over many 401/IRAs and never a had any tax consquences.

The half of the equity is not taxable if its under 250,000. As long as you continue to rollover the 401K, it's not taxable, only becomes taxable if you make an early withdraw from it.
