If we sold off our mutual funds / stocks but transferred them into a different type of account (long term growth account) Do we have to pay taxes on that even though we did not receive any money in hand? 

 

Thanks

Yes. If the transactions were made in a non retirement account any profits are subject to tax. Even though you didn’t receive income in hand you still had income that you used for reinvestment.

Ok thanks but what if we rolled everything over into an Annuity for retirement? Do we still get taxed? We received a 1099-B from the broker we moved the funds from. 

 

Thanks for your input!!

If the sale of assets was made in a non retirement account it does not matter what you did with the proceeds.  The profit is taxed.
