If I sell stock or mutual fund in a 401k plan and leave as cash in the account do I pay tax?

Retirement tax questions

No, as long as the money stays in the retirement plan, any transactions of buy and/or sell do not affect your tax return.  At any time a distribution is taken from the retirement account, then there would be tax consequences.
