How do capital gains work in a tax-qualified account vs. a non-qualified account?

Shareholders who own mutual fund shares through a tax-qualified account (tax-deferred account such as a 401(k) or Traditional or Roth IRA) do not pay taxes on capital gain distributions currently. Income from 401(k) or traditional IRA accounts is generally taxed as ordinary income when withdrawals are made.
