If I am receiving 401K distributions(which include reinvested dividends) and State and Fed taxes are withheld, will I received a 1099-R and 1099-DIV ?

will I pay taxes on both the distribution and the dividends

No only a 1099R.  You don't report dividends or interest, buys or sells in a 401K or IRA.  The distribution is taxed as ordinary income and you don't get the dividend or capital gains lower tax on it.  That's one of the disadvantages of 401K and IRA.  It all comes out at your tax rate.

You will receive a 1099-R only.

Dividends are re-invested within the 401(k) account and are not reported to you on a Form 1099-DIV.  You will only receive a Form 1099-R for the distribution.
