401K withdraw

my husband withdrew several 401K accts and combined them into one at fidelity investments. Why do we pay taxes on the money withdrew? We invested the total amt back into another 401k

You should post each of the 1099-R's and continue through the interview.

For the rollover, there will be a question Tell us if (You) moved the money through a rollover or conversion.
- Select [I rolled over some or all of it to an IRA or other retirement account within the time limits (normally 60 days)]
- This will not be taxable.
