Is a transfer from stock to money market considered income and thus taxable?

Yes. In order to put the value of a stock or a stock mutual fund in money market, you must sell the stock. The sale will result in either a gain or a loss and will be reported to you on Form 1099-B. If it's a gain, it will be taxable. Either way, you need to report it on your tax return.
