I haven't even thought about this yet so if you feel strongly about this, tell me why. Links would be nice.

Maybe I don't understand. I though 401(k)'s were pre-tax and IRA's are post-tax, in which case rolling into an IRA would mean paying taxes on it now.

I gotta be confused though. What else would make IRA's different than any other investment if not tax-deferral?

I think there are IRAs that you can rollover your pre-tax dollars or something and then you can't touch it without paying a lot of taxes on it. This isn't confusing, just I haven't giving a lot of thought to it. I just know that I did it with my last job because it made sense then and it looks like it make the most sense now.
