Congratulations! You made money! Now pay your taxes and keep the balance! There is no way to avoid taxes on gains. BUT, if you held those stocks for at least one year, you get the lower capital gains tax rate. Ask your accountant or tax preparer.
And yes, if you also have earned income, and qualify based on income, you can take the after-tax proceeds, open a Roth IRA — keep investing — and NEVER pay taxes!
