Hi BrianDNY,

 

No the loan  and the interest will not be taxed.  The  loan allows you to avoid paying the taxes and penalties that come with taking an early withdrawal. Additionally, the interest you pay on a 401(k) loan is added to your own retirement account balance. even though it is on an ater-tax basis.
